Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder that is strongly influenced by obesity, the most important modifiable risk factor. Effective weight management is therefore essential for optimal OSA care. This guideline provides updated, evidence-based recommendations for the evaluation and management of obesity in adults with OSA, incorporating recent advances in lifestyle, pharmacologic, and surgical interventions.
