I wonder if sleep apnea diagnoses will decrease with the increasing use of GLP-1s? Zepbound is FDA-approved for OSA.

- jaggederest 1y agoIt 100% will. Interestingly zepbound does more than merely lower weight and thus reduce sleep apnea as a secondary result, it seems to actually help directly from the preliminary studies I've read, much like we're seeing in other domains where GLP-1 drugs actually reduce e.g. fatty liver disease more than the same amount of weight loss alone. I wonder if we'll discover that there's actually an endemic deficiency in endogenous GLP-1 production due to some other cause? The usual suspects of environmental contamination or subclinical infection, perhaps.
