Key result
Weight loss and lifestyle intervention improves daily functioning and psychiatric symptoms vs usual care in OSA.
Why the study?
Impaired daily functioning and psychiatric symptoms are prevalent in obstructive sleep apnea, but the effects of weight loss and lifestyle interventions on them remain uncertain.
Does an 8-week weight loss and lifestyle intervention improve daily functioning and psychiatric symptoms in men with moderate-to-severe OSA and obesity?
RCT (n=89)
Does an 8-week weight loss and lifestyle intervention improve daily functioning and psychiatric symptoms in men with moderate-to-severe OSA and obesity?
Effect estimate: Mean difference 2.3 (FOSQ score) (95% CI 1.5 to 3.2)

Supports weight loss interventions for men with OSA and obesity; extends evidence beyond CPAP to daily functioning and psychiatric symptoms.
Carneiro‐Barrera et al. (2023) conducted an RCT in Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Obesity (n=89). Interdisciplinary weight loss and lifestyle intervention vs. Usual care (continuous positive airway pressure) was evaluated on Changes from baseline to intervention endpoint and 6 months after intervention in daily functioning, psychological distress, and anxiety and depression symptoms (Mean difference 2.3 (FOSQ score), 95% CI 1.5 to 3.2). An interdisciplinary weight loss and lifestyle intervention improved daily functioning (mean difference 2.3; 95% CI 1.5 to 3.2) and psychiatric symptoms compared to usual care in men with OSA.
