Sleep-disordered breathing and pulmonary function in obese children and adolescents
Highlights • Reduced lung volumes are associated with more severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). • A mixed obstructive–restrictive breathing pattern is observed with OSA. • Forced expired volume in 1 s (FEV1 ) is correlated with OSA severity, implying a role for airway inflammation. • The level of a...

Summary: | Highlights • Reduced lung volumes are associated with more severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). • A mixed obstructive–restrictive breathing pattern is observed with OSA. • Forced expired volume in 1 s (FEV1 ) is correlated with OSA severity, implying a role for airway inflammation. • The level of adiposity remains an important confounding factor. |
