    Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), also known as Pickwickian syndrome, is a condition where obesity causes reduced breathing during sleep. According to WHO data, over 1.4 billion adults worldwide are overweight, with nearly 300 million women and 200 million men being obese. A national health survey in India found that 1 in 3 adults are now overweight or obese. The prevalence of OHS among patients referred to sleep clinics for sleep apnea is estimated to be 17%, though this varies significantly between studies. In the general population, the prevalence is estimated to be between 0.15-0.3%. OHS is classified and treated according to its severity.

    As per the WHO more than 1.4 billion adults, 20 and older were

    women were obese. The Overseas Development Institute (ODI), found
    that Indians form a massive chunk of the one in three adults now
    overweight or obese. The aggregate prevalence of OHS among OSA
    patients referred to sleep disorder centers is 17% (range 4%–50%).The
    considerable range in prevalence reflects varying patient
    populations assessed across studies. The estimated prevalence of OHS
    among the general adult population is 0.15 - 0.3%.
