About 70 percent of people with obstructive sleep apnea are overweight or obese. Their health care professionals usually encourage them to lose weight. Surprisingly, there have been few formal studies of how effectively weight loss leads to lesser, lighter snoring and diminished incidents of apnea and hypopnea during sleep.
Weight loss can have a positive impact on obstructive sleep apnea. Rates of OSA are on the rise, according to the ACP report, and so are rates of obesity and other weight-influenced diseases such as Type 2 diabetes. Being overweight is one of the most significant risk factors for developing obstructive sleep apnea.
