Physical Activity Following Positive Airway Pressure Treatment in Adults With and Without Obesity and With Moderate-Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Conclusions:Compared to study participants without obesity and with OSA, participants with obesity and OSA had reduced PA at baseline. PA increased significantly in participants without obesity, with OSA, and who were adherent to PAP treatment. Results indicate that treatment of OSA is unlikely to be associated with a change in PA in adults with obesity and OSA and help explain the absence of weight loss following PAP treatment in adults with OSA.Clinical Trial Registration:Registry: ClinicalTrials.gov, title: The Effects of Treating Obese and Lean Patients With Sleep Apnea (PISA), identifier: NCT01578031, URL:https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01578031Citation:Feng Y, Maislin D, Keenan BT, Gislason T, Arnardottir ES, Benediktsdottir B, Chirinos JA, Townsend RR, Staley B, Pack FM, Sifferman A, Pack AI, Kuna ST.
