Comparing the Excessive Daytime Sleepiness of Obese and Non-obese Patients

Abstract: BackgroundObesity, particularly morbid obesity, has various physical and mental complications. Excessive daytime somnolence (EDS) is a sleep disorder that reduces individuals’ performance capability and the accuracy of their short-term memory and causes learning problems. This retrospective study aimed to document the presence of EDS in a sample of obese patients in comparison to patients with a normal weight.ObjectivesThis article compares the excessive daytime sleepiness of obese and non-obese patients in th… Show more

“…However, the subjectively as well as objectively assessed severity of EDS varies greatly in OSA patients and does not correlate well with the AHI (Heinzer et al, 2015; Pevernagie, Gnidovec‐Strazisar, & Grote, 2020). Obesity as risk factor of EDS has been corroborated by, for example, Mokhber et al (2016) and Garbarino et al (2018). Vgontzas et al (1998) demonstrated in a sleep laboratory study of subjects who were recruited through an obesity clinic, that obesity alone, without sleep apnea, was associated with daytime sleepiness.…”

“…These results go against what we found in the literature. Mokhber et al (2016) [31], for instance, studied a sample that contained 55 obese people (case group) and 55 non-obese people (control group) and found a significant association between the BMI and sleepiness in the case group. Furthermore, their likelihood of reporting sleepiness increased significantly as their BMI increased.…”

“…Ancak hesaplanan ortalama puanların yakınlığı dikkate alındığında erkek öğrenciler için de aynı risklerin göz önünde bulundurulması gerektiği saptandı. Literatürde yapılan araştırmalarda sıklıkla obezite ile artmış gündüz uykululuk düzeyi arasındaki ilişki ortaya konmuş, ayrıca vücut ağırlığındaki artışın gündüz aşırı uykululuğu arttırdığı bildirilmiştir [35,36]. Araştırmamızda obez öğrenci sayısının çok az (n=5) olması obezite ve uykululuk düzeyi arasında ilişki bulunamamasının nedeni olarak düşünüldü.…”
