Obstructive sleep apnoea and type 2 diabetes mellitus: a bidirectional association

Aurora, R Nisha, Punjabi, Naresh M·2013·The Lancet Respiratory Medicine

Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnoea and type 2 diabetes are common medical disorders that have important clinical, epidemiological, and public health implications. Research done in the past two decades indicates that obstructive sleep apnoea, through the effects of intermittent hypoxaemia and sleep fragmentation, could contribute independently to the development of insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and type 2 diabetes. Conversely, type 2 diabetes might increase predisposition to, or accelerate progression of, obstructive and central sleep apnoea, possibly through the development of peripheral neuropathy and abnormalities of ventilatory and upper airway neural control. Although more research is needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying the bidirectional association between the two disorders, their frequent coexistence should prompt all health-care professionals to embrace clinical practices that include screening of a patient presenting with one disorder for the other. Early identification of obstructive sleep apnoea in patients with metabolic dysfunction, including type 2 diabetes, and assessment for metabolic abnormalities in those with obstructive sleep apnoea could reduce cardiovascular disease risk and improve the quality of life of patients with these chronic diseases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
