HALK SAĞLIĞI SORUNU OLARAK UYKU APNE SENDROMU

Uyku, her bireyin hayatının doğal bir parçası olan davranışsal bir durumdur. Uyku bozukluğu,motorlu araç kazaları, endüstriyel felaketler ve tıbbi ve diğer mesleki hatalarla bağlantılı olduğu için önemli halk sağlığı sorunudur. Uyku yetersizliği kronik uykusuzluk, huzursuz bacaklarsendromu, uyku apnesi veya narkolepsi gibi uyku bozukluklarından kaynaklanabilir. Uyku apnesendromu veya diğer adıyla obstrüktif uyku apne sendromu (OSAS) hastalığı en sık görülen aşırıuykululuk nedenidir. Bununla birlikte, epidemiyolojik gözlemler, klinik olarak anlamlı OSAS’asahip kişilerin yaklaşık % 90’ınında tanımlanmadığını ortaya koymaktadır.Sağlıklı uykunun tüm toplumlarda yaşam kalitesinin ayrılmaz bir parçası olması gerektiğininfarkındalığı artmakla birlikte, aşırı beslenme ve obezite oranlarının artmasıyla artan dünya sorunları nedeniyle ileride daha yüksek oranda uyku apne sendromu olguları beklenmektedir.Obstrüktif uyku apne sendromunun yaşam kalitesi ve süresini tehdit eden önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Gerek hasta gerek toplum sağlığı açısından uygun şekilde tanınması ve tedaviedilmesi gerekmektedir.

Sleep Apnea Syndrome as a Public Health Problem

Sleep is a behavioral condition that is a natural part of every person’s life. Sleep disturbance is increasingly recognized as major to public health, with sleep insufficiency linked to motor vehicle crashes, industrial disasters, and medical and other occupational errors. Sleep insufficiency can be caused by sleep disturbances such as chronic insomnia, restless legs syndrome, sleep apnea or narcolepsy. Sleep apnea syndrome or, in other words, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is the most common cause of excessive sleepiness. However, epidemiological observations reveal that it is not identified in approximately 90 % of persons with clinically significant. There is a growing awareness that healthy sleep should be an integral part of the quality of life in all societies. Higher rates of sleep apnea syndrome are expected in the future due to increasing world problems due to increased nutrition and obesity rates. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is an important public health problem that threatens the quality and duration of life. It needs to be recognized and treated appropriately in terms of patient and community health.
