Social epidemiology of childhood obstructive sleep apnea

I. Parunov

Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea is a severe and sometimes life-threatening disorder in childhood and adulthood. During the last decades, its incidence and prevalence rates gradually increase worldwide. The undoubted medico-social significance of the pediatric obstructive sleep apnea stimulates the investigations of this hot topic by scientists from all over the world.
The purpose of this concise review is to outline the most recent achievements in some social epidemiological aspects of the disease. In addition, it deals with the etiopathogenetic role of a series of common accompanying diseases as well as of the numerous risk factors deserving a special attention by the medical community and broad public.
