The aim of this study was to examine the effect of a very low-calorie diet (VLCD)-induced weight loss on the severity of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), blood pressure and cardiac autonomic regulation in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). A total of 15 overweight patients (14 men and one woman, body weight 114 +/- 20 kg, age 52 +/- 9 years, range 39-67 years) with OSAS were studied prospectively. They were advised to follow a 2.51-3.35 MJ (600-800 kcal) diet daily for a 3-month period. In the beginning of the study, the patients underwent nocturnal sleep studies, autonomic function tests and 24-h electrocardiograph (ECG) recording. In addition, 15 age-matched, normal-weight subjects were studied. They underwent the Valsalva test, the deep-breathing test and assessment of heart rate variability at rest. The sleep studies and autonomic function tests were repeated after the weight loss period. There was a significant reduction in weight (114 +/- 20 kg to 105 +/- 21 kg, P
