Obesity is a major risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), contributing to airway obstruction, reduced lung function, and increased disease severity. This session will explore the complex relationship between obesity and OSA, highlighting the physiological mechanisms linking excess weight to sleep-disordered breathing.
Attendees will gain insights into the impact on cardiovascular health, metabolic disorders, and quality of life. The session will also review the latest advancements in weight management strategies, including lifestyle interventions, bariatric surgery, and pharmacological treatments such as GLP-1 receptor agonists.
