Metabolic Syndrome and Sleep Apnea: The Impact of Lifestyle Interventions

Abstract

Abstract Contemporary healthcare focuses on assessing the efficacy of dietary and exercise interventions in mitigating metabolic syndrome and its association with sleep apnea. Results demonstrate notable reductions in the HOMA Index and triglyceride levels among treated cohorts, indicating improved glycemic control and lipid profile. Additionally, intervention groups exhibit significant decreases in cholesterol levels, indicative of enhanced lipid profile. Marginal alterations in C-Reactive Protein imply limited impact on systemic inflammation, while consistent uric acid levels suggest potential autonomy from the interventions. Remarkable correlations between clinical parameters and sleep apnea risk underscore the pivotal role of lifestyle modifications in metabolic syndrome management, offering insights into underlying mechanisms. The aim of this study is to further investigate the underlying mechanisms behind the observed improvements in metabolic parameters following dietary and exercise interventions, with a specific focus on elucidating the relationship between these interventions and the risk of sleep apnea in individuals with metabolic syndrome. These findings elucidate the intricate interplay between metabolic risk factors and sleep apnea susceptibility, thereby informing therapeutic and preventive approaches for individuals with metabolic syndrome.
