“…Non-obese individuals may also have SDB, but without the doctor being alerted by obesity, and therefore not taking a patient’s history of sleep, the non-obese sleep-disordered patient can be missed. In a study by Cadavid, [17] 17% of 611 patients referred for OSA assessment were non-obese, and half of these non-obese patients proved to have OSA. The greatest predictors of OSA in the non-obese person proved to be age and gender, rather than sleepiness and ethnic origin.…”

The South African population is suffering from an obesity epidemic. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), which includes obstructive sleep apnoea and obesity hypoventilation syndrome, is closely related to obesity. SDB may have serious health consequences if not asked about when taking a history related to sleep and sleep-deprivation symptoms. Unfortunately, a formal polysomnogram is available to very few patients who need the diagnosis confirmed. However, taking a sleep history, measuring the haemoglobin level and using a much smaller device in the comfort of a patient's bed can obviate the need for formal polysomnography.
