[Sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome in the obese and non-obese: clinical, polysomnographical and clinical characteristics].

CONCLUSION: The behaviour of SAHS is different in obese children and non-obese children, with differences in age, clinical characteristics, severity of SAHS, and metabolic changes. The children diagnosed with SAHS were in the higher percentile of diastolic blood pressure. Obesity was associated with worse sleep quality, and changes in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
