Obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) are characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, usually associated with sleep interruption and decreased oxyhemoglobin saturation. Cephalometric analysis has become an important method in diagnosis, reporting specific craniofacial characteristics such as posterior air pharyngeal space, tongue length and hyoid position, which ...

متن کاملCorrelation of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome with metabolic syndrome in snorers
Though obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and metabolic syndrome (MS) are correlated; the contributing factors for the occurrence of MS in Chinese snorers remain largely undefined. We aimed to investigate the associated pathogenesis of coexistence of OSAHS and MS in Chinese snorers. A total of 144 Chinese habitual snorers were divided into 3 groups, the control group (simple snor...
