   18. The association of obstructive sleep apnea and gut health.

   The intricate relationship between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA), gut health, and their associated health consequences has been the subject of numerous scientific studies. The three selected papers delve into this relationship, exploring the role of obesity, gut microbiota, and cognitive dysfunction in O.S.A. By comparing and contrasting these studies, we aim to provide a cohesive understanding of the pathogenesis and potential interventions for this disorder. Follow us on social media!
