the claim

Obstructive sleep apnea causes weight gain.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that obstructive sleep apnea causes weight gain?

Partly. Some sources suggest OSA-related sleep fragmentation or a bidirectional relationship may contribute to weight gain, while an animal model of OSA hypoxia found lower body weight and another source frames weight as causing OSA rather than the reverse. The evidence covers only parts of the claim and points in different directions.
