Abstract

Excessive daytime sleepiness is a common symptom in obese patients, but what drives this condition is unclear. The objective was to look for clinical, anthropometric, biochemical, and polysomnographic predictors of excessive daytime sleepiness as measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) in obese patients.
