Abstract:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disease worldwide and is closely associated with cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and traffic accidents. Current OSA prevention and management face three major challenges: low public awareness, insufficient screening vigilance among non-specialist physicians, and a high proportion of asymptomatic patients who remain undiagnosed. Proactive intervention is crucial for reducing the public health burden and improving patient prognosis. This review summarizes the benefits of proactive intervention in OSA patients and outlines future strategies and directions.
