Prevalence of childhood obesity is progressively increasing, reaching worldwide levels of 5.6% in girls and of 7.8% in boys. This also leads to a corresponding increase in the prevalence of obesity-associated morbidities particularly those involving obstructive sleep apnea(OSA). Obesity is an independent risk factor and regulator of OSA in children. There is a bidirectional causal relationship between OSA and obesity in children. The factors involved in the association between OSA and obesity are systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and gut microbiota etc. However, a causal link between obesity-related inflammatory state and OSA pathogenesis still needs to be properly confirmed. The present review aimed to investigate the links between childhood obesity and OSA.
儿童肥胖症的患病率正在逐步上升,在全球范围内,女孩的患病率达到5.6%,男孩的患病率达到7.8%。这也导致肥胖相关疾病的患病率相应增加,尤其是那些涉及阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)的疾病。肥胖是儿童OSA的独立危险因素和调节因素。儿童OSA与肥胖之间存在双向因果关系。OSA与肥胖之间关联的因素包括全身炎症、氧化应激和肠道微生物群等。然而,肥胖相关炎症状态与OSA发病机制之间的因果联系仍需得到恰当证实。本综述旨在研究儿童肥胖与OSA之间的联系。
