超重與肥胖兒童阻塞性睡眠呼吸中止症高風險盛行率及其對生活品質的影響

// Prevalence of high risk for obstructive sleep apnea and its impact on quality of life in children with overweight and obesity

本研究調查超重及肥胖兒童阻塞性睡眠呼吸中止症(OSA)高風險的盛行率|68名2-12歲兒童中有41.2%被評為高風險,扁桃體肥大為主要預測因素|OSA高風險與生活品質顯著下降相關,建議兒童肥胖照護納入系統性OSA篩檢與生活品質評估。

// This study aimed to determine how common high risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is among overweight and obese children and its effect on quality of life. Researchers assessed 68 children aged 2-12 using a sleep apnea screening tool and quality-of-life questionnaire, finding that 41.2% had a high OSA risk. Tonsillar hypertrophy was the strongest predictor of high OSA risk, which was linked to significant quality-of-life impairment. The study concludes that systematic OSA screening and quality-of-life evaluations should be integrated into pediatric obesity care.
