Predicting the successful resolution of obstructive sleep apnoea following weight-loss surgery

目前的项目旨在确定肥胖如何导致阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA），这是一种与心血管疾病发病率和死亡率相关的疾病。鉴于肥胖是西方世界主要的健康问题之一，这项研究是一个新兴的领域。我们的研究结果可能最终提供一种减肥干预措施的改进，以最大限度地提高其对阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的影响，并为这种迫切需要的疾病的管理提供新的治疗策略。

The current project aims to determine how obesity causes obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), a disorder associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity & mortality. This research is a burgeoning area given that obesity is one of the western world’s leading health care concerns. Our findings may ultimately offer a refinement of weight-loss interventions to maximise their effects on OSA as well as offering novel treatment strategies in the management of this disorder that is desperately needed.
