Presence of central sleep apnea or other sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome and chronic pain syndrome, presence of chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, familial dyslipidemia, severe uncontrolled hypertension (systolic/diastolic blood pressure > 160/95 mm HG), chronic kidney disease, malignancy, inflammatory diseases and psychiatric disorders, hospitalization due to acute or chronic respiratory disease or required use of supplemental oxygen during the last year, any kind of surgery during the last three months, pregnancy or breastfeeding for women, use of antipsychotic, antidepressant and hypnotic drugs, systemic use of steroids or hormone replacement therapy for women, habitual excessive alcohol intake (>210 and >140 g of alcohol for men and women, respectively, and currently on a weight loss diet or recent change in lifestyle habits.

To explore whether the addition of a weight loss Mediterranean diet/lifestyle intervention to the current standard care for OSA in clinical practice (i.e. CPAP prescription and brief written healthy lifestyle advice) has an incremental beneficial effect on OSA patients cardiometabolic profile i.e. MS prevalence, glucose metabolic indices, lipidemic profile parameters, liver enzymes and blood pressure, over the effect of standard care alone.
