Article Synopsis
- Bendopnea, a symptom indicating shortness of breath when bending forward, was studied in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) to understand its prevalence and characteristics.
- In a group of 95 patients, 34.7% experienced bendopnea, with an average age of 62 and a high prevalence of obesity (BMI of 34 kg/m²).
- The presence of bendopnea was significantly associated with older age, obesity, heart failure, and other respiratory diseases, signaling a need for further attention to these patients' health issues.
