Abstract :

Many women with PCOS are obese and have a higher prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance, type II diabetes and sleep apnoea than is observed in the general population. They exhibit an adverse cardiovascular risk profile, characteristic of the cardiometabolic syndrome as suggested by a higher reported incidence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, visceral obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperinsulinemia. The definition of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea OSA, pathophysiology and causes will be presented. Research has shown that raised BMI women with PCOS will have higher rates of OSA for the same BMI group compared to women without PCOS. Theories behind that will be covered together with a possible treatment strategy.
