年长者较容易患上阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征(obstructive sleep apnea,OSA) 。《活得好》请Beyond Medical Group旗下Aglow ENT诊所的耳鼻喉专科顾问兼医疗总监郭亮医生解析原因。

 

郭亮医生说,阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征是睡觉时气道被部分或完全阻塞的一种情况。患者可能因部分或完全暂停呼吸而缺氧。

 

年长者较容易患病,一般是因随着年龄增长,咽喉肌肉变弱,气道在睡眠时更易塌陷;另有一些年长者因肥胖,颈部和气道周围的脂肪沉积增加,使气道变窄。

 

预防建议:

 

●保持健康体重,减少颈部多余脂肪,可降低气道阻塞的风险。

 

●侧睡,有助于保持气道畅通。

 

●睡前避免饮酒和服用镇静剂,以免喉咙肌肉放松,增加气道塌陷的风险。
