Aging effect on sleepiness and apneas severity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: a meta-analysis study
2019
Purpose
Different authors have reported that aging could be associated with changes in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) related parameters (apnea/hypopnea index, SpO2, reduction of daytime sleepiness, etc.), type of sleep and pattern of collapse. Regarding OSA severity in elderly patients, it is commonly believed that the AHI score tends to increase with aging.
