PREVALENCE OF OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA IN OBESE WOMEN
Keywords:
Daytime Sleepiness, Hypertension, Sleep Apnea, Obese WomenAbstract
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea is primarily a sleep disorder, presenting with snoring, daytime sleepiness and cardiovascular disease. OSA have risk factor for conditions like hypertension, stroke, diabetes, and depression in obese women. This study was done to determinedthe frequency of obstructive sleep apnea in obese women population.
Methods: This was an observational study undertaken on 125 participants aged between 45-65 years in obese women population. Quality of life was check using a BERLIN Questionnaire A questionnaire comprised various components related to snoring, quit breathing, fatigue, hypertension was used for this study.
Result: 125 Individual Who Participated in the study, of the obese female population. They answered a questionnaire. 83 participant of the female aged 45-55 years: body mass index, 30-47.34 kg/m2. 42 participants of the female aged 56-65years: body mass index, 30.3-40.7 kg/m2. Sleep apnea was related to Age, Obesity and Hypertension. Seventy- nine participants (63.2%)) had High Risk BQ score and Forty-six participants (36.8%) had Low risk BQ score with P value (p <0.0001).
Conclusion: These finding suggest that Obesity is an important risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea in obese women with body mass index above 30kg/m2.
