25.1 Obesity
The relationship between obesity and OSA is well-known and has been the subject of multiple studies for years. Obesity is one of the main components contributing to OSA. The incidence of OSA in obese patients is signicantly higher than in the general population. Thus, OSA is present in 40% of patients with obesity, and 70% of patients with OSA are obese [1]. In addition, a 10% weight gain is associated with a sixfold increase in the risk of development of sleep apnea [2].
Obesity is a complex disease associated with a large number of comorbidities. About 13% of the world’s adult population were obese in 2016, and the worldwide prevalence of obesity nearly tripled between 1975 and 2016 [3]. As the prevalence of obesity has increased, so have the many associated comorbidities, including OSA.
Obesity is dened as an excessive increase in body fat. There is also an excess of body fat in overweight, although less than in obesity. Even though the dening characteristic of the disease is excess body fat, the clinical diagnosis of overweight and obesity is usually made with the body mass index (BMI). As dened by the

World Health Organization BMI is the patient’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of his height in meters (kg/m2). Overweight is dened by a BMI greater than or equal to 25kg/m2, and obesity is diagnosed with a BMI greater than or equal to 30kg/m2 (see Table25.1) [4]. It is a simple formula, easy to obtain only by knowing the weight and height of a subject. Still, does not entirely t the denition of obesity since an individual’s excess weight is not always due to fat mass. For example, a subject with a lot of muscle mass may have excess weight but not necessarily fat mass. Thus, the estimation of the absolute amount of fat—adiposity—that a patient has can be done with the so-called body composition methods, of which there are several types. The most common body composition assessments are Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), Skinfold Test, Air Displacement Plethysmography (BodPod®), and DEXA Scan. Using these methods, we can obtain the percentage of body fat concerning the total weight of a specic individual. For example, a man is considered overweight with a body fat percentage between 20 and 24.9% and obese when it is equal to or greater than 25%. In women, these fat percentages to dene overweight and obesity are 30–34.9% and ≥35%, respectively, because women have a higher fat percentage than men. In this way, using air displacement plethysmogra­phy, it has been described that up to 30% of women with normal BMI have a per­centage of body fat compatible with obesity. In men, this n ding occurs in 25% of subjects with normal weight [5].
But not only is adiposity essential in the development of obesity comorbidities. The distribution of body fat also plays an important role. The central deposition of fat (android, perivisceral; characteristic of males), as opposed to the gluteal-femoral (gynoid, subcutaneous; characteristic of females), is associated with a higher risk of comorbidities, mainly cardiometabolic. Differences have been found between both forms of fat storage concerning the size and number of adipocytes, their innerva­tions, vascularization, and their metabolic and secretory activity (adipokines), which may explain their different cardiometabolic risk prole [6]. There are various methods and indices to assess the type of fat deposit in an individual. The most used are the waist circumference, waist/height ratio, the waist to hip ratio, or the mea­surement of abdominal fat using radiological methods such as computed tomogra­phy scan (CT scan) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

25.1.1 Obesity andthePathophysiology ofOSA
The pathophysiology of OSA is complex and involves several factors, such as air­way anatomy or neuromuscular function (Fig.25.1). Obesity occupies a very rele­vant place in the pathophysiology of OSA due to several factors. Firstly, a pharyngeal fat deposit would cause a decrease in the luminal diameter, facilitating the collapse of the airway during sleep. In addition, the pharyngeal cross-sectional area may be smaller because of reduced functional residual capacity (lower lung volume), a common n ding in patients with obesity and a large abdomen [7]. Thus, OSA has been related to neck circumference since it is a marker of adiposity in that area [8,
9], waist circumference, and other indices of central obesity [10]. Another relevant
factor is decreased upper airway muscle protective strength or altered muscle struc­ture secondary to fatty inltration [11]. In short, obesity is related to greater upper airway collapsibility that predisposes to OSA, which improves signicantly with weight loss [7].
Adipokines or adipocytokines are peptides and proteins secreted mainly by adi­pocytes and play diverse roles in body homeostasis. Adipose tissue has emerged as a metabolically active tissue implicated in many processes, such as metabolism, inammation, and cardiovascular diseases. Current evidence suggests that adipo­kines (leptin, adiponectin, chemerin, etc.) may play a role in the complex relation­ship between OSA and metabolic disorders [12].

25.1.2 OSA andWeight Gain
OSA is one of the most common sleep disturbances that can severely compromise sleep quality in affected individuals. There is evidence that insufcient sleep may promote metabolic, hormonal, and behavioral changes that lead to weight gain [13], which could help perpetuate the vicious circle of obesity-OSA.
Daytime fatigue and sleepiness secondary to inadequate sleep quality contributes to asthenia, sedentary lifestyle, and less physical exercise, which causes a decrease in energy expenditure and facilitates weight gain. In addition, an inverse relation­ship exists between physical activity levels and OSA severity [14].
OSA severity is associated with unhealthy dietary preferences contributing to obesity and greater cardiometabolic risk [14].
Several peptides and hormones play a role in the complex appetite/satiety regu­lating system. Leptin is a signicant adipokine secreted mainly by the adipocytes of the white adipose tissue and is positively correlated with fat mass. It has a funda­mental role in regulating energy balance by reducing energy intake (anorexigenic effect) and increasing energy expenditure. Leptin acts at the hypothalamus, decreas­ing appetite, and is elevated in obese patients (hyperleptinemia) due to excess fat mass. However, leptin resistance has been described in these individuals, which, despite presenting high levels of it, appetite does not decrease [15].
An increasing amount of evidence suggests that long-term exposure to chronic intermittent hypoxia, as occurs in OSA, may contribute to leptin resistance, nega­tively affecting food intake control [16]. In some studies, CPAP treatment decreased leptin, but this effect was not observed in others [17].
Ghrelin is a peptide secreted from the oxyntic glands in the gastric fundus. Among other actions, ghrelin stimulates the appetite (orexigenic effect), and thus its plasma levels increase during fasting and decrease during the postprandial period. There is some evidence for an increase in the level of ghrelin in patients with OSA, which could be related to intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation. In some studies, CPAP treatment contributed to decreased ghrelin, but others did not observe this effect [17].
OSA increases the resting metabolic rate, the main component of energy expen­diture. This nding is paradoxical since this phenomenon should favor weight loss or maintenance. It has been suggested that the impact on the energy balance pro­duced by the increase in resting metabolic rate would be counteracted by a surge in caloric intake [18].
25.1.3 OSA andWeight Loss
Obesity treatment focuses on achieving a healthy diet and physical activity habits that promotes weight loss. On this basis, pharmacological or surgical treatments can be added. As a matter of fact, due to their close association, one of the main goals of patients with OSA and obesity is weight loss, for it can reduce fatty deposits in the
25 Endocrinology
https://t.me/medicina_free
neck and tongue [19] as well as abdominal fat [20], improving airow during sleep. Lifestyle-induced weight loss studies in patients with OSA have demonstrated that at least 5–10% loss of the initial body weight can improve the severity of the syn­drome [21], even in patients with moderate or severe OSA [22]. Obese patients should be encouraged to lose weight to improve OSA, and counseling regarding diet modication and exercise with a weight management team (dietitian, endocrinolo­gist, psychologist, etc.) may be benecial [23].
In recent years, the pharmacological treatment of obesity has experienced sig­nicant progress thanks to the inclusion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) recep­tor agonists. The Sleep Apnea Scale study demonstrated a reduction in weight (−5.7% of initial weight) and improvement in the apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) (−12 events h−1) with Liraglutide [24]. The most novel Semaglutide improves Liraglutide results in weight loss, so a more signicant effect for improving AHI occurs, although this aspect is currently under study [25]. Pharmacological treat­ment of obesity is indicated in patients with any degree of obesity and even in those with overweight and associated comorbidities.
Bariatric surgery has developed remarkably in the last two decades as an effec­tive and safe intervention for obesity management. For instance, on average, it can generate more weight loss in obese patients (30% of initial weight) compared to conservative treatment. Although many surgical techniques have been implemented, the two most used today are the sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. OSA is a common comorbidity in bariatric patients, with an estimated incidence of 35–96%. A recent meta-analysis conrmed a signicant decrease in AHI after bar­iatric surgery (−25.1h−1) [26]. In addition, the patients who improved their weight after the intervention and those who previously presented a greater severity of OSA experienced a higher decline in AHI [27]. Furthermore, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends discussing referral to a bariatric surgeon to adults with OSA and obesity (BMI ≥35kg/m2) who are intolerant or unaccepting of positive airway pressure (PAP) as part of a patient-oriented discussion of alternative treat­ment options [28]. Also, other organizations, such as the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, recommend bariatric surgery for individuals with BMI ≥35kg/m2 and OSA, regardless of PAP adherence.
Finally, although CPAP treatment can improve various aspects of weight gain, studies are inconclusive on its benet for weight loss [29]. Some of them even relate it to weight gain [30], highlighting the complexity of obesity pathophysiology.

25.2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of developing OSA.Patients with type 2 diabetes have an increased adjusted incidence rate ratio (1.48) of OSA than those without [31]. Several factors could explain this association. Diabetic autonomic neuropathy, which can affect the control of breathing at different levels, has been related to a higher incidence of OSA [32]. AHI disturbances have also
436
https://t.me/medicina_free
been independently associated with higher odds of diabetic microvascular compli­cations (nephropathy, retinopathy, and peripheral neuropathy) [33]. The high preva­lence of OSA in type 1 diabetes patients suggests a pathophysiological role of hyperglycemia and chronic micro and macrovascular complications [34].
In another aspect, it has been described how the intermittent hypoxia that appears in OSA can worsen insulin resistance through, among other factors, activation of the sympathetic nervous system, disturbances of oxidative stress, or systemic inam­mation [35]. However, in the various studies carried out to date, PAP therapy has failed to improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients [36], although sleep apnea treatment improves this group’s blood pressure and quality of life. In this sense, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) clinical guidelines recommend checking patients with diabetes for the presence of symptoms suggestive of obstruc­tive sleep apnea (e.g., excessive daytime sleepiness, snoring, or witnessed apnea) and considering OSA screening in this group [37].

25.3 Metabolic Syndrome andLipids
Metabolic syndrome is a term applied to the coexistence in the same individual of abdominal overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pres­sure. This combination of factors increases cardiovascular risk. Although there are different diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome, it is estimated that up to a third of the adult population may present with it.
Obstructive sleep apnea has been associated with metabolic syndrome or its core components. The pathophysiological mechanisms previously described in the rela­tionship between obesity, diabetes, and OSA are also linked to metabolic syndrome. Thus, the benecial effects of CPAP on glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in patients with OSA are not constant in all the studies carried out [38]. However, arterial hypertension is associated with OSA, and several studies have demonstrated that PAP therapy signicantly reduces blood pressure and improves cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome [39]. Dyslipidemia is another essential component of metabolic syndrome, typically manifested by hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL­cholesterol (atherogenic dyslipidemia). The association between the presence of OSA and atherogenic dyslipidemia is inconsistent and is inuenced by possible confounders such as obesity, diabetes, or insulin resistance. Still, data from the European Sleep Apnea Database Cohort (ESADA) showed that OSA severity was independently associated with cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations [40].
Furthermore, OSA was positively associated with serum triglyceride levels in men with a normal waist circumference [41]. Several mechanisms can mediate this relationship, including chronic intermittent hypoxia, sympathetic activation, or sleep fragmentation. Although studies on the possible benet of CPAP treatment on the lipid prole are inconsistent, a recent meta-analysis showed that CPAP treat­ment decreases total cholesterol at a small magnitude but has no effect on other dyslipidemia markers in OSA [42].

25.4 Other Endocrinological Diseases (Fig.25.2)
25.4.1 Acromegaly
Acromegaly is a low-prevalence disease resulting from growth hormone (GH) excess, usually in the context of a GH-producing pituitary tumor. It is associated with a phenotype characterized by an increase in the size of the acral parts of the body (hands and feet) and several changes in facial features (prognathism, and enlargement of the forehead, lips and nose). OSA prevalence is 69% in patients with acromegaly [43]. By the time the diagnosis of acromegaly is made, which is usually late and with evident morphological alterations since it is a slowly evolving disease, has an inuence on the development of OSA.Consequently, the presence of pharyn­geal/tongue thickening, increased collagen production, or tissue edema contributes to narrowing the upper airway, facilitating OSA [44].
25.4.2 Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder involving the failure of the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone. Overt hypothyroidism has an estimated OSA prevalence between 25 and 50% [45]. Subclinical hypothyroidism is a common disorder diagnosed when peripheral thyroid hormone levels (free thyroxine or T4) are within normal reference laboratory range. Still, serum thyroid-stimulating hor­mone (TSH) levels are mildly elevated. In a moderate or severe OSA population,
16.4% of patients had some thyroid disorder, and 8% were newly diagnosed with

438
https://t.me/medicina_free
subclinical hypothyroidism [46]. The presence of tissue edema, macroglossia, or goiter may explain this higher prevalence, but other mechanisms have been sug­gested, such as alterations in ventilatory drive and respiratory muscle function. Levothyroxine replacement therapy improves symptoms of OSA and sleep ef­ciency for some patients with overt hypothyroidism. Therefore, it can be deduced that hypothyroidism- ism contributes to OSA, but not a determining one. Another study showed no difference in the frequency and severity of OSA among euthyroid patients and those with either treated or untreated subclinical hypothyroidism [47].
C. S. Froján et al.
25.4.3 Cushing’s Syndrome
Cushing’s syndrome results from prolonged exposure to exogenous or endogenous glucocorticoids. The most common cause is iatrogenic Cushing’s syndrome due to the exogenous administration of glucocorticoids with therapeutic intent. It is associated with the appearance of a typical phenotype characterized by obesity with a central accumulation of fat and muscle atrophy. It also presents multiple metabolic manifesta­tions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or dyslipidemia. This characteristic phenotype explains the increased prevalence of OSA detected in patients with the syndrome through an accumulation of fat in the cervical area and more signicant muscle weakness. In one study, the prevalence of OSA was higher (50% vs. 23%) in patients with Cushing’s syndrome compared with control subjects [48].
25.4.4 Primary Hyperaldosteronism
Primary hyperaldosteronism is caused by excess aldosterone secretion by one or both adrenal glands, leading to sodium retention, intravascular volume expansion, and arterial hypertension. It is frequently associated with hypokalemia, although it is not an essential nding for diagnosis. OSA prevalence in patients with primary hyperaldosteronism is high, 45.8–67.6%. Treatment for hyperaldosteronism, either surgical (adrenalectomy) or pharmacological (spironolactone or amiloride), can sig­nicantly improve the AHI. A higher prevalence of primary hyperaldosteronism has also been described in patients with OSA (34%). Several studies have demonstrated higher aldosterone levels in patients with OSA; this excess, as seen in hyperaldoste­ronism; may exacerbate its severity. The overnight uid shifting into the neck and consequent pharyngeal edema can also contribute to upper airway obstruction and OSA [49].
25.4.5 Male Hypogonadism
Male hypogonadism is a clinical syndrome characterized by a decit in the testos­terone production by the testis. It can be of primary (testis) or central (hypotha­lamic–pituitary) origin. Symptoms depend on the age of onset, but in adults, it is
25 Endocrinology

characterized by erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, gynecomastia, muscle weakness, or low bone mineral density, among others. A worsening of sexual func­tion has been described in men with OSA, which could be related to a decrease in testosterone levels. However, this relationship is complex and poorly understood [50]. On the other hand, testosterone treatment in hypogonadal men could be asso­ciated with a greater tendency to uid retention and edema, which can worsen OSA. Moreover, testosterone treatment can increase the hematocrit. In addition, the Endocrine Society recommends against testosterone replacement therapy in hypo­gonadal men with elevated hematocrit or untreated severe obstructive sleep apnea [51].
Take-Home Message
• There is a relationship between OSA and obesity, diabetes, or metabolic
syndrome.
• The central deposition of fat (android, perivisceral; characteristic of males), as
opposed to the gluteal-femoral (gynoid, subcutaneous; characteristic of females),
is associated with a higher risk of comorbidities, mainly cardiometabolic.
• Other classical endocrine disorders such as Acromegaly, Hypothyroidism,
Cushing’s syndrome, primary hyperaldosteronism, and male hypogonadism
show a high incidence of OSA.
• The pathophysiological mechanisms involved in these associations are diverse
and, in some cases, poorly understood.
• Although benecial in many aspects, treatment of OSA with positive airway
pressure (PAP) does not always show improvement.
