Gender difference in sleep profile of severely obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

Abstract: Severely obese women with OSA, even with milder OSA, present greater disturbances of the sleep architecture with a more severe sleep disruption and more frequently REM OSA in comparison with men matched by age and weight.

“…However, during REM sleep, cholinergic-mediated inhibition of the hypoglossal nerve results in the suppression of genioglossus muscle tone, which substantially increases the propensity for upper airway collapse (16)(17)(18). This increased propensity for upper airway collapse can lead to REM-predominant OSA or simply OSA that becomes more severe during REM sleep (19)(20)(21)(22)(23). In patients with mild or moderate OSA, who represent more than 80% of individuals with OSA in the community (14,15), obstructive events often cluster in REM sleep resulting in selective fragmentation of REM sleep (20).…”

“…There is a possibility that the latter has more effect on female OSA patients, for whom more sensitivity to factors disturbing sleep has been reported [38]. As observed in one of the first studies describing central apnoeas with CPAP [1], central apnoeas often appear in wake-sleep transition.…”

“…Üst hava yolu tonusu non-REM uykuda azalır ve REM uykuda da azalmaya devam eder, böylece üst hava yolu rezistansında ve kollapsında artış meydana gelir. Ayrıca, uykunun REM evresinde hipoksi ve hiperkapniye meduller duyarlılık azalır ve tüm bunların sonucunda REM'de daha fazla solunumsal olayların yanında daha fazla oksijen desatürasyonu olur (2)(3)(4)(5).…”
