Abstract

The article discusses a study published in SLEEP Advances that examined the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and dementia risk in older adults, focusing on sex-specific associations. Researchers analyzed data from the Health and Retirement Study cohort and found that individuals with known or suspected OSA had a higher risk of dementia, with a higher prevalence among men compared to women. The study highlights the importance of addressing OSA as a potentially modifiable risk factor for dementia, particularly in older adults.
