Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Obesity is an epidemic and a growing problem in the world. There are numerous causes of obesity, the most novel and personalized of which is genetic inheritance. Single nucleotide polymorphisms are the most common type of genetic variation among people, regulating the response between the diet and the body. Meanwhile, Traditional Chinese medicine pattern differentiation is also personalized and usually influenced by inheritance, living habits, character and environment and so on. The common constitutions in obesity are Qi deficiency, Yang Deficiency, and Phlegm dampness, which are correlated with oxygen, sugar and fat metabolism, also affected by gene expression. Therefore, the relationship between constitution, metabolism and genetic molecular typing may be significant in obesity with obstructive sleep apnea patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Method The adults whose age between 20\~65 years old, BMI between 27kg/m² and 35kg/m², and also have snoring during sleeping are able to be enrolled in the study. Then, the general data questionnaire, Body Constitution Questionnaire, physical examination, blood test, and genetic test are provided to subjects. The blood test includes High-density lipoprotein- cholesterol, Low-density lipoprotein- cholesterol, Total cholesterol, Triglyceride, Leptin, Glucose AC, Hemoglobin A1C, Insulin; the DNA test includes FTO、MC4R、BDNF、PPARG、ADRB3、UCP1. Epworth Sleepiness Scale, laryngoscope and polysomnography are also performed in the patients enrolled. The Traditional Chinese medicine constitution can be classified and its relationship between different figure types, serum lipid level as well as obesity-related gene can be analyzed. The results will be described after a statistical analysis.

Aim The aim of this study is to analyze the constitution, finding the association between obesity patients with obstructive sleep apnea and their related molecular typing and Traditional Chinese Medicine constitution.
