Weight loss intervention through lifestyle modification or pharmacotherapy for obstructive sleep apnoea in adults

Abstract

This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: To assess the effects of non-surgical weight loss interventions through lifestyle modification or pharmacotherapy as a treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). The review aims to test the hypothesis that OSA indices (and symptoms) would be favourably modified by non-surgical weight loss interventions in obese patients with OSA.
