Obesity and obstructive sleep apnea - Clinical significance of weight loss
2013, Sleep Medicine ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Moreover, many studies have been conducted with small selected subgroups, e.g., severely obese patients usually with severe or at least heterogeneous severity of OSA. The previous studies examining the effect of weight loss as a treatment of OSA have been meticulously reviewed by Barvaux et al., and this review concluded that weight loss may reduce the severity of OSA, but that it is not a curative treatment option for most patients.49 Accumulating and improving knowledge of weight loss programs have demonstrated that if they are to be successful, additional changes in lifestyles in conjunction with energy restriction per se, are essential.

2008, Obesity Research and Clinical PracticeCitation Excerpt :In particular, focus is on the amount of deep sleep because it is considered to have an important restorative function [38]. For example, in a review article from 2000 Barvaux et al. [39] put the relationship between weight loss and sleep architecture in OSAS patients on the research agenda. This issue has previously been investigated by Noseda et al. [24], who evaluated patients treated with either dietary or surgical methods.
