Obesity is associated with myriad abnormalities in pulmonary function, but most significantly, it increases the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In obese patients with OSA, it is often also associated with other cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. Treatment of OSA can bring about many benefits, including better engagement with lifestyle behavior change and also reduction in blood pressure. Weight loss can improve symptoms of OSA, and with major weight loss, OSA may disappear.
