The prevalence of severe pediatric obesity is rising and poses many adverse health risks. Children with obesity are at increased risk of several cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. They are also more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which increases the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic problems. In this review, we examine the relationship between OSA and obesity, improvements in OSA after non-surgical and surgical weight loss, and explore potential directions for future research.
