RESUMO
Os principais distúrbios respiratórios do sono, ronco e SAOS, são muito prevalentes na população geral, embora se acredite que a maioria dos casos continue não diagnosticada. Devemos estar atentos para os principais fatores de risco que favorecem o aparecimento desses distúrbios, como gênero masculino, obesidade, envelhecimento e características crânio-faciais. Da mesma forma, a presença de hipertensão arterial sistêmica, enfermidades cardiovasculares e metabólicas deve nos alertar para a possibilidade da concomitância de SAOS.
ABSTRACT
The principal types of sleep-disordered breathing-snoring and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome-are highly prevalent in the general population, although it is believed that the majority of cases continue to go undiagnosed. We should be aware of the principal risk factors that favor the onset of these disorders, such as male gender, obesity, aging and craniofacial features. Similarly, systemic arterial hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders should alert us to the possibility of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
