Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often a lifestyle disease associated with obesity, which is rapidly evolving as a major health concern with diverse multisystemic implications. To prevent and mitigate its adverse effects and reduce its burden on society, its aetiopathogeneses must be precisely understood. Numerous studies focusing on the range of diverse anatomic, functional, and lifestyle factors have already been carried out to determine the possible contributory roles of these factors in OSA. Recently, evidence to validate the role of inflammatory pathways and immune mechanisms in the aetiopathogeneses of OSA is being developed. This allows for further research and translation of such knowledge for targeted therapeutic and preventive interventions in patients with or who are at risk of developing OSA.
期刊介绍:
The World Journal of Clinical Cases (WJCC) is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJCC is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of clinical cases. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJCC is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJCC are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in clinical cases.
