Obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome is associated with obesity in adults. It is characterized
by snoring, irregular breathing with long pauses during sleep, and daytime tiredness. In
children, it can be confused with attention deficit disorder and other learning problems, as well as
depression. Rosen studied a group of 326 children who were referred for sleep studies and found
that although obesity was not the only cause of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation
syndrome, high BMI was twice as prevalent as expected (28%) in this population [37].
