Are sleep fragmentation and intermittent hypoxemia associated with decreased insulin sensitivity in obese adolescent Latino males?
Sleep fragmentation and intermittent hypoxemia are associated with metabolic impairment in obese adolescent Latino males independent of age and adiposity. We speculate that SRBD potentiates the risk for development of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes in the obese adolescent population.
The extended protocol seems to totally excise precursor lesions, with minimal underestimation. This might possibly point to a modified management of ADH lesions.
