Abstract in brief

  • Research focused on the impact of a palaeolithic diet on sleep apnoea in overweight postmenopausal women.
  • Seventy women participated in a 2-year study, with one group following a palaeolithic diet and the other a low-fat control diet.
  • Results showed that the palaeolithic diet led to significantly more weight loss (7.2 kg vs. 3.9 kg), which was linked to a reduction in sleep apnoea severity, though daytime sleepiness remained unchanged.
  • To achieve a noticeable improvement in sleep apnoea, participants needed to lose at least 8 kg, highlighting the importance of weight loss in managing this condition.
