随着肥胖症在发达国家和发展中国家的流行率增加，呼吸系统的后果往往被低估。本文就阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征、重叠性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征和肥胖性低通气综合征的临床表现、发病机制、诊断和治疗进行综述。患有这些疾病的患者通常会向呼吸科医生就诊，识别和有效治疗在患者生活质量和减少医疗保健利用方面具有重要益处。迫切需要采取措施遏制肥胖症的流行。
As the prevalence of obesity increases in both the developed and the developing world, the respiratory consequences are often underappreciated. This review discusses the presentation, pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of the obstructive sleep apnoea, overlap and obesity hypoventilation syndromes. Patients with these conditions will commonly present to respiratory physicians, and recognition and effective treatment have important benefits in terms of patient quality of life and reduction in healthcare utilisation. Measures to curb the obesity epidemic are urgently required.
