| Abstract： |
| Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is closely linked to obesity. Recent advances in anti-obesity medications and bariatric/metabolic surgery have enabled more diversified treatment strategies. Studies show that a 10% reduction in body weight is associated with roughly a 25% decrease in the apnea–hypopnea index (AHI). In patients with moderate to severe OSA, weight loss can downstage disease severity, reduce dependence on positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy, and open opportunities for minimally invasive upper-airway surgery or a mandibular advancement oral appliance. |
