Positive effects have been reported following a behavioral sleep medicine (BSM) intervention targeting physical activity and eating behavior in addition to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Long-term follow-up remains to be explored. The aim was to examine the long-term effects of a tailored BSM intervention addressing physical activity and eating behavior in addition to CPAP treatment in patients with moderate to severe OSA combined with overweight and physical inactivity. Further, the aim was to identify variables at baseline, associated with treatment success regarding OSA severity.
