Background: Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is a multifactorial disease, highly prevalent and associated with health risks.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between SAH and laboratory, anthropometric, heart rate variability (HRV), and obstructive sleep apnea markers and, secondarily, to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of the variables that are independent factors in the association.
Methods: Cross-sectional study with 95 obese patients treated at an obesity referral clinic in Salvador, BA, Brazil.
Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has several mechanisms of action related to inflammatory responses, especially in individuals diagnosed with obesity. This hyperinflammatory clinical profile resulting from the association between obesity and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may be attenuated by regular physical activity.
Objective: The aim of this study was to review the evidence on the consequences of physical inactivity and physical activity on COVID-19 in patients with obesity.
Objective: The objective of this study was to identify, among the different anthropometric indicators, the one that shows higher discriminatory power for the prognosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS).
Design: Observational cross-sectional study PARTICIPANTS: Obese individuals elective to bariatric surgery METHODS: A study based on data of 758 patients aged ≥ 21 years old, of both sexes, in the pre-operatory stage of the surgical procedure of gastric bypass. Obstructive sleep apnea and obstructive sleep hypopnea were evaluated and classified through the apnea-hypopnea index, which was obtained through the examination of polysomnography.
