Obesity and OSAS adversely affect many organs and systems. Besides the factors affecting the diagnosis of the OSAS-obesity relationship, mutual organ interactions among the respiratory system, adipose tissue and intestines should not be ignored for prevention and treatment of OSAS and obesity. Comprehensive clinical trials addressing the efficacy and efficiency of current or potential treatments on therapeutic applications in the OSAS-obesity relationship are needed.
