The evolution of childhood obesity and its relationship to adult sleep disordered breathing

本项目将描述成年早期的阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）。该研究将评估一个典型队列（Raine队列）中OSA的患病率，该队列代表了西澳大利亚州的年轻人。它将确定与睡眠期间异常呼吸相关的临床情况和风险因素，并将使用从妊娠18周到23岁收集的广泛纵向数据来量化早期生命发育和环境预测因素，从而为公共卫生政策提供信息。

This project will characterise Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) in early adulthood. It will assess the prevalence of OSA in a well characterised cohort (the Raine Cohort), representative of the population of young adults in Western Australia. It will define the clinical picture and risk factors associated with abnormal breathing during sleep and will use the extensive longitudinal data collected from 18 weeks gestation until 23 years of age to quantify early life developmental and environmental predictors that can inform public health policy.
