Aims/Objectives:
1 To analyze SDB in obese patients.
2 To analyze whether SDB is a risk factor for hypertension in obese individuals.
Material and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at the department of pulmonology of People's College of Medical Sciences and Research centre, Bhopal, M.P. The duration of the study was 1 and half years. Total of 100 patients were included in this study.
Results And Conclusion: Obesity has a very high and proportionate correlation with sleep disordered breathing. Obstructive sleep apnea is the predominant sleep disordered breathing in our study population. Moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea correlates very highly for predicting hypertension and maybe considered as a risk factor for the same.
