Abstract Introduction Snoring is one of the symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing. Sleep-disordered breathing is associated with blood pressure in pregnant women. However, studies reporting this association have been conducted overseas, and there is a lack of research in the Japanese context, where women have different lifestyles and physical attributes. The aim of this study is to clarify the association of sleep disturbance with physical factors in pregnant Japanese women. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 80 pregnant Japanese women. The assessments for statistical analysis included the Japanese versions of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (J-PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (JESS), as well as snoring frequency, blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI) before and during pregnancy. Results Participants’ average gestational age was 26.23±7.56 weeks, and the J-PSQI and JESS scores were 5.5±2.6 and 9.7±4.2, respectively. The average neck circumference was 33.4±2.6cm, and BMI before and during pregnancy was 21.0±2.9cm and 23.1±3.1cm, respectively. Among the participants, 42.5% displayed habitual snoring. These women had significantly higher BMI and weight before and during pregnancy than those who did not snore habitually. Participants with lower diastolic blood pressure and pre-pregnancy weight had significantly higher JESS scores. Participants with thick necks (neck circumference≥33.4cm) had significantly higher BMI and weight before and during pregnancy, as well as lower J-PSQI scores, than those with thin necks. Conclusion In pregnant Japanese women, neck circumference and BMI before and during pregnancy were lower than among pregnant women from other countries. However, Japanese women displayed a greater tendency toward snoring during pregnancy compared to women from other countries. Snoring was associated with obesity before and during pregnancy. However, the results suggest that thinness of physique prior to pregnancy is a risk factor for sleep disturbance during pregnancy. Support

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify prognostic indicators that would lead to stratification of patients likely to have successful surgery for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) versus those destined to fail. STUDY DESIGN: We retrospectively reviewed 134 patients to correlate palate position and tonsil size to the success of the UPPP as based on postoperative polysomnography results. Similar to our previously published data on the Friedman Score as a predictor of the presence and severity of SDB, the palate position was determined on physical examination of the oral cavity and was graded for each patient. This grade combined with tonsil size was used to stage the patients. Stage I was defined as having palate position 1 or 2 combined with tonsil size 3 or 4. Stage II was defined as having palate position 3 or 4 and tonsil size 3 or 4. Stage III patients had palate position 3 or 4 and tonsil size 0, 1, or 2. Any patient with body mass index of greater than 40 was placed in the stage III group. The results of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) were then graded as success or failure and success rates were compared by stage. SETTING: Academically affiliated tertiary care referral center. RESULTS: Stage I patients who underwent UPPP had a success rate of 80.6%, stage II patients had a success rate of 37.9%, and stage III patients had a success rate of 8.1%. CONCLUSION: A clinical staging system for SDB based on palate position, tonsil size, and body mass index is presented. It appears to be a valuable predictor of the success of UPPP. Additional studies and wider use of the staging system will ultimately define its role in the treatment of SDB.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the socioeconomic, demographic and obstetric profile of pregnant women with Gestational Hypertensive Syndrome. Methods: A descriptive and correlational study, conducted in Maternity School Assis Chateaubriand, with 120 pregnant women, through a questionnaire analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: most women had chronic hypertension (60.83%). Regarding the socioeconomic and demographic profile, most pregnant women had a mean age of 30.9 ± 6.9 years, were Catholic, brown skin color, employed, in stable unions, complete high school education, and income of up to R$ 954.00. Regarding the obstetric profile, their Body Mass Index was up to 66, slightly elevated blood pressure, an average of five prenatal consultations, two pregnancies, one delivery and no abortions. Women with chronic hypertension were older (p = 0.0024), had lower gestational age (p = 0.0219) and a higher number of abortions (p = 0.0140). Conclusions: Pregnant women are overweight/obese, with a mean age of 30.9 years and are socially vulnerable. Pregnant women with chronic hypertension are older and have a higher number of abortions.

Background Sleep disturbances can lead to many health problems in school-aged children, including hypertension and obesity. However, a lack of consensus about the etiology of these conditions is due to conflicting reports on the possible effects of sleep disturbances. Objective To assess for possible associations between sleep disturbances and blood pressure as well as body mass index in school-aged children. Methods This cross-sectional study involved primary school children in the 4th-5th grades. Subjects’ blood pressure, body weight, and body height were measured and their parents completed the Sleep Disturbances Scale for Children (SDSC) questionnaire. Results Of the 816 children enrolled, 503 (61.6%) children had sleep disturbances. The most common type of sleep disturbance was initiating and maintaining sleep. Bivariate analysis revealed a significantly increased risk of hypertension among subjects with sleep disturbances (PR 15.06; 95%CI 8.13 to 27.90) and increased risk of obesity (PR 22.65; 95%CI 12.28 to 41.78). Conclusion The most common type of sleep disturbance is initiating and maintaining sleep. Sleep disturbances are significantly associated with hypertension and obesity in children.

Disordered Breathing

Excess weight is a well-established predictor of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Clinical observations and population studies throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia have consistently shown a graded increase in the prevalence of SDB as body mass index, neck girth, or other measures of body habitus increases. Clinical studies of weight loss and longitudinal population studies provide strong support for a causal association. The role of excess body weight, a modifiable risk factor, with SDB raises many questions relevant to clinical practice and public health. The topic takes on added importance with the alarming rate of weight gain in children as well as adults in industrialized nations. Among adults ages 30–69 yr, averaging over the estimated United States 2003 age, sex, and BMI distributions, we estimate that ∼17% of adults have mild or worse SDB (apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 5) and that 41% of those adults have SDB “attributable” to having a body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2. Similarly, we estimate that ∼5.7% of adults have moderate or worse SDB (apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 15) and that 58% of those adults have SDB attributable to excess weight. Clearly, if the expanding epidemic of obesity seen in the United States continues, the prevalence of SDB will almost certainly increase, along with the proportion of SDB attributable to obesity.
