Logically putting pen on paper, obesity is simply correlated to body mass, argumentatively it is being overweight. It is fundamental, for normal body function there is a maximum stipulated weight that one has to maintain or attain, beyond this is obesity.

Being obese is something that normally is associated with eating habits, but we can’t overlook the fact that it can also be hereditary but with it comes various complications and consequences, for the purpose of this write up we are going to consider the cardiovascular impact6s that it holds. Cardio vascular complications caused by obesity are; hypertension, stroke, heart attack, atrial fibrillation (AF), obstructive sleep apnoea and many others that have direct relations with this disorder. For the purpose of this write up, we consider the relations between obesity and obstructive sleep apnoea which is a case study that has already been introduced. Obesity contributes a lot to atherosclerosis which is a disorder identified by the accumulation of fat deposits on the arterial walls leading to narrowing of the arteries a disorder that is considered to be fatal at all costs. Fat deposition as well occur in the breathing system of individuals contributing to the difficulties in breathing while both awake or asleep and more so while performing a task that requires heavy breathing .

Based on research findings published on articles, journals, all this provide facts and evidences that are explored in this write up. Epidemiological surveys have been done and reports given by researchers and epidemiologists on this aspect. Thus the basis of the discussion will revolve around the evidences gathered, through critical and precise analysis, evidences regarding this matter were gathered and it is to the best of my knowledge that they provide precise information and facts.

The major risk factor for OSA is obesity, though on the contrary weight loss is said to improve this condition by minimizing the risk factors involved and to this cause to justify this hypotheses we explore some of the complications caused by obesity for most parts of this write up. Reasons why this is so is never clear even though there are facts on the ground there tends to be loopholes in research findings. Argumentatively based, there is a relation to this, by the fact that there is simple mass loading of the neck overcoming the ability of pharyngeal muscles to maintain a lumen upon sleep this tends to correlate sleep apnoea with the neck circumference than with the general obesity, that a circumference of 43cm (17inches) is associated with the occurrence of OSAS (obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome).

The common factor summarizing all this is being overweight or having excess weight in the neck compromising the pharyngeal dilators even when the patient is active or active but it has been realized that increased muscular activity is efficient in maintaining a lumen but when asleep this is not there thus allowing the external weight to interfere with the airway causing narrowing of the air passage thus causing sleep apnoea unnoticed in victims of this disorder.
