Relationships between MRI fat distributions and sleep apnea and obesity hypoventilation syndrome in very obese patients
- Abstract:
-
Purpose Obesity is associated with both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity hypoventilation. Differences in adipose tissue distribution are thought to underlie the development of both OSA and hypoventilation.
