This is generally caused by excessive relaxation of the soft tissues of the oropharynx and muscles of facial expression and mastication obstructing the airway. It has been theorized that the potentially life threatening Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS), directly and indirectly influences Periodontal disease. Literature Review Signs and symptoms of OSAS consist of snoring, abrupt awakening from sleep, apneic periods witnessed by a sleep partner, dry mouth, sore throat, and excessive daytime sleepiness.…
People who are obese have excess fat tissue that causes more production of leptin a regulator of food intake and energy output, which then leads to improper balance of food intake and energy output (office). Obesity can impair normal mobility and range of motion in knees and hips, and obese patients make up 33% of all joint replacement operations (Is obesity a disease). Obesity is also connected to reproductive impairment, contributing to sexual dysfunction in both sexes, infertility and risk of miscarriage in women, and lower sperm counts in men. (Is obesity a disease). When diseases like sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, cancer, stroke, and high cholesterol affect the body because of obesity it plays a role in decreasing a person’s life span by three years in adult’s life and in cases of extreme obesity shortening a person’s life span by 10 years (is obesity…
