Проанализированы результаты МРТ мягких тканей ВДП у 20 пациентов без ожирения и СОАС (группа контроля), у 42 больных с ожирением и тяжелой степенью СОАС (основная группа) и 32 больных с ожирением и легкой степенью СОАС (группа сравнения). С помощью МРТ были рассчитаны объёмы мягкого нёба (ОМН), языка (ОЯ), латеральных стенок глотки (ОЛСГ) на уровне ретрофарингеальной области (РФО) и ретроглоссальной области (РГО), суммы мягких тканей (СМТ) на уровне РФО и РГО, жировых включений в языке, а также концентрация жира в языке и площади максимального сужения верхних дыхательных путей (ПМСВДП) на уровне РФО и РГО.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. У больных с СОАС, ожирением и сопоставимыми значениями ИМТ было выявлено, что ОМН, ОЛСГ на уровне РФО и РГО, СМТ на уровне РФО и РГО, объем жировых включений, концентрация жира в языке больше в группе с тяжелой степенью СОАС по сравнению с больными с легкой степенью СОАС (р&lt;0,001). ПМСВДП на уровне РФО и РГО в группе с тяжелой степенью СОАС меньше, чем у больных с легкой степенью СОАС (р&lt;0,001).</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. ИМТ у больных с ожирением и СОАС не всегда является четким предиктором степени тяжести в связи с неравномерным накоплением жировой ткани в мягких тканях вокруг верхних дыхательных путей. </p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Objective</title><p>Objective: to evaluate the upper airway (UA) soft tissue structures in patients with obesity, comparable body mass index (BMI), and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) varying in severity, by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. The results of UA soft tissue MRI were analyzed in 20 patients without obesity and OSAS (a control group), in 42 patients with obesity and severe OSAS (a study group), and in 32 patients with obesity and mild OSAS (a comparison group). MRI scans were used to calculate the volumes of the soft palate (SPV), tongue (TV), lateral pharyngeal walls (LPWV) at the level of the retropharyngeal and retroglossal regions (RPR and RGR), soft tissue amounts (STA) at the level of the RPO and RGR, lingual fat inclusions, as well as lingual fat concentrations, and the area of maximum upper airway stenosis (MUAS) at the level of the RPR and RGR.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. It was found that in the patients with OSAS, obesity, and comparable BMI, SPV and LPWV at the level of the RPR and RGR, STA at the level of RPR and RGR, and lingual fat inclusions and concentrations were higher in the severe OSAS group than those in the mild OSAS group (p &lt; 0.001). The area of MUAS at the level of RPR and RGR was smaller than that in the mild OSAS group (p &lt; 0.001).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. In patients with obesity and OSAS, BMI is not always a clear predictor of the degree of severity due to the uneven accumulation of adipose tissue in the soft tissues surrounding the the upper airway. </p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>синдром обструктивного апноэ во время сна</kwd><kwd>магнитно-резонансная томография</kwd><kwd>верхние дыхательные пути</kwd><kwd>ожирение</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>obstructive sleep apnea syndrome</kwd><kwd>magnetic resonance imaging</kwd><kwd>upper airway</kwd><kwd>obesity</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Quan S.F., Howard B.V., Iber C. et al.
