The study was aimed, therefore, at evaluating the nutritional knowledge and selected elements of lifestyle of obese patients with diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), treated at the Lower Silesia Center of Pulmonary Diseases in Wroclaw. Assessment of nutritional knowledge was conducted among 49 patients including 12 women and 37 men with diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), treated at the Lower Silesia Center of Pulmonary Diseases in Wroclaw.
The nutritional knowledge and selected elements of lifestyle were evaluated by means of own-construct, standardized questionnaire elaborated at the Chair of Human Nutrition, Wroclaw University of Life and Environmental Sciences. It included questions from different fields referring to, among others: knowledge on rational nutrition, type of physical activity, frequency of cigarette smoking, etc. Despite the demonstrated some knowledge of good nutrition, its use by patients with OSA in everyday life raises many objections. This could possibly result from the message is not binding on the correct nutrition to their own health. Found in the studied group of patients with OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) obesity and low physical activity, evidence of the need to integrate into the process of treatment of individual dietary counseling.
