Gender Differences in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Historically OSA has been regarded as a male disease. Therefore, much of our knowledge comes from studies with largely male populations. Growing evidence suggests that there are significantly different gender aspects of OSA. The symptoms of OSA may manifest differently in female patients, and females tend to be diagnosed and treated less often, despite reporting worse quality of life outcomes. ...
متن کاملSex differences in anthropometric and cephalometric characteristics in the severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
INTRODUCTION Craniofacial anatomic abnormalities related to structural narrowing of the upper airway have been reported in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The purpose of this study was to test whether there are sex differences in the relative contributions of specific anthropometric and cephalometric measurements of OSAS severity. METHODS The subjects were Taiwanese pat...

sleep apnea, and particularly obstructive sleep apnea, is a common disorder that is characterized by a repetitive, partial or complete cessation of air flow, associated with oxyhemoglobin desaturation and an increased effort to breath. in recent years, orthodontists have been interested and involved in the management of this disorder since it has been shown that oral appliance therapy can be an...
متن کاملBioelectrical impedance analysis revisited.
Although total limb volume measurements are used to track the progress of lymphedema and its treatment, these measurements can be confounded by changes other than fluid excess namely muscle or fat gain. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a technique that specifically quantifies both total body fluid and extracellular fluid in extremities. Whereas BIA has potential as a quick, inexpensive...
متن کاملSex differences in sleep apnea predictors and outcomes from home sleep apnea testing
STUDY OBJECTIVES To evaluate sex differences in predictors of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as per outcomes from home sleep apnea testing. DESIGN This was a retrospective analysis of a large repository of anonymous test results and pretest risk factors for OSA. SETTING AND PATIENTS A total of 272,705 patients were referred for home sleep apnea testing from a variety of clinical practices fo...
