摘要
睡眠呼吸暂停综合征(SAS)各年龄阶段均可发生,美国每年有38 000人的死因与SAS相关。我国老年人口中发病率最高达67%,现已证明,SAS不仅和20多种心脑血管疾病的发生、发展关系密切,还和心理疾病、生殖、肿瘤、肥胖等疾病的发生、发展密切相关。此外,新近研究发现,SAS可升高阿尔茨海默病的发病率。由于慢性缺氧致使患者反复憋醒,正常睡眠规律和周期被打破,深睡眠状态难以进入或维持,患者清醒时疲惫不堪,精神萎靡,记忆力下降,长期得不到纠正后引起性格、行为、心理和社会适应能力改变以及生命质量下降。基于不同的发生机制和表现形式,治疗方法也大相径庭,选对正确的治疗方法对于慢性病的预防和治疗以及生命质量的改善至关重要。
Sleep apnea syndrome（SAS） can happen in any age stage. About 38,000 people＇s death in the United States every year are related to SAS. The highest incidence is 67% in elders in China. It has been proved that SAS is not only related to the development of over 20 kinds of cerebrovascular diseases but also closely related to mental illness, sexua] disease,reproductive disease, cancer, obesity, and many other diseases. In addition, the recent studies found that SAS can increase the incidence of Alzheimer disease. Due to chronic hypoxia, patients wake up again and again and the normal sleep law and cycle is broken, and it is difficult to enter or maintain a deep sleep state. They awake tired with listlessness and memory loss. If correction cannot be obtained for a long time, changes in character, behavior, psychological and social adaptation ability and the decrease of the quality of life will occur. Based on the different mechanism and manifestations, the treatments are also different. Choosing the right treatment is very important for prevention and treatment of the chronic disease and the improvement of life quality.
