Нарушения дыхания во сне у людей разных возрастных групп

Abstract

Obstructive apnea syndrome (OSA) is the most common sleep-disordered breathing in adults and children. It is unknown whether the OSA in children and adults are different syndromes, or a single disease that begins in infancy. Here, we consider the risk factors and features of the obstructive sleep apnea in different age categories: infants born prematurely and suffering from bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), overweight adolescents, and 25-64 years old adults. We demonstrate that the sleep-disordered breathing decreases the saturation in all groups. Premature infants with BPD and pulmonary hypertension (PH) had more desaturation episodes than the group without PH. Adolescents with excessive body weight and obesity had higher blood pressure, lipid and glucose levels. OSA was associated with higher values ​​of lipid metabolism and creatinine levels in adults.
