Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) as a risk factor for secondary osteoporosis in children

Abstract: Repetitive hypoxia seen in obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) may affect bone metabolism increasing the risk for secondary osteoporosis. This study investigates the association between OSAS in children and secondary osteoporosis. This cross-sectional study included 150 children aged 10–17 years: 86 with OSAS and 64 with no OSAS. OSAS was confirmed by polysomnography. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) of calcaneum measuring speed of sound (SoS) and broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) were collected. Other … Show more

“…Deficiency in TrATPase is associated with spondylenchondrodysplasia, a disorder that combines abnormal bone development, various autoimmune diseases and central nervous abnormalities. Interestingly, OSA has been associated with osteoporosis in recent studies [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], a possible reflection of hypoxia.…”

“…T he prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a type of sleep-disordered breathing, is 1% to 4% among children. [1][2][3] Early intervention in OSA is crucial to prevent impaired growth, 4,5 adverse cardiovascular consequences, [6][7][8][9] learning deficits, 10 and poor quality of life. 11 Upper airway obstruction, often caused by adenoid and/or tonsil hypertrophy, is the most common anatomical cause of pediatric OSA.…”
