Study Links Sleep Apnea to Memory Problems in Middle-Aged Adults, but Vascular Factors May Play a Role
By
Author Dr. Joel Kahn
Summary
This article discusses the connection between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and brain health, specifically cognitive impairment and dementia risk. It references a new study examining OSA risk in middle-aged adults and its association with poorer memory, though this link was weakened after adjusting for vascular risk factors. The piece promotes home sleep studies offered by the Kahn Center as a way to identify sleep pathologies that may contribute to cardiovascular diseases and brain health issues.
