Prevalence and severity of syndrome Z in women with metabolic syndrome on waiting list for bariatric surgery: a cross-sectional study

Abstract: BackgroundIn recent years, obesity has become one of the most important public health problems in the world, with a growing prevalence in both developed and developing countries. Recent studies show that sleep disturbances, especially obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) may be a manifestation of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Although the association of OSA with the MetS is largely attributed to obesity, the exact pathophysiological mechanisms and their individual characteristics still need to be identified. This study… Show more

“…in their study observed that the mean FBS in subjects without OSA was 99.8 mg/dL, while the mean FBS levels in patients with mild, moderate, and severe OSA were 117.6, 139.7, and 142.3 mg/dL, respectively; the differences were statistically significant ( P < 0.001). [11] Aronsohn et al . showed that increasing severity of OSA was associated with poorer glucose control.…”

“…The recruitment was based on sample size calculation, based on a previous study by Perez et al (2017 ), which focused on the levels of TNF-α of obese patients before and after bariatric surgery. Considering an error of 0.05 and a significance level of 95%, the total sample size to detect an effect of 0.88 was 24.…”

“…6 Association was found between OSAS and metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the continuing increase in the prevalence of OSAS worldwide is nearly followed by increased number of MetS. [7][8][9] This study investigated the prevalence and severity of syndrome Z at tertiary care center. Table 2 shows that 60.0% participants were belonged to severe grade of OSAS and 27.5 were moderate and 7.5% were mild grade of OSAS classification respectively.…”
