Their symposium addresses the current understanding of the associations of sleep apnea disorder and treatments with obesity.
The World Association of Sleep Medicine sponsors the annual World Congress of Sleep Medicine to advance sleep health worldwide by encouraging education, research and patient care through the exchange of clinical information and scientific studies related to sleep medicine. Drs. Ojile, Richardson and Rapoport will cover the physiology of sleep, sleep disorders and the adipocyte, the effectiveness of CPAP therapy at addressing the underlying obesity factor and whether data on bi-directionality of sleep apnea and obesity support changes in treatment.

I look forward to a stimulating and rewarding exchange of ideas.”
