In a large clinical cohort with suspected sleep apnea, we confirmed our hypothesis that in women, severity of OSA as measured by degree of nocturnal oxygen desaturation is associated with cardiovascular consequences after accounting for other traditional cardiovascular risk factors.

- Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Women: Specific Issues and Interventions
Abstract. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has traditionally been seen as a male disease. However, the importance of OSA in women is increasingly being recognized, along with a number of significant gender-related differences in the symptoms, diagnosis, consequences, and treatment of OSA.
1 Ιαν 2022 · Women have more pronounced sleepiness, albeit less specific as a consequence of their increased prevalence of disorders and treatment associated with hypersomnia. Prevalence and health care. More prevalence in men, even in older adult patients. Women less likely to seek help for OSA symptoms.
6 Απρ 2023 · The repeated awakenings associated with sleep apnea make typical, restorative sleep impossible, in turn making severe daytime drowsiness, fatigue and irritability likely. You might have trouble concentrating and find yourself falling asleep at work, while watching TV or even when driving.
3 Οκτ 2021 · Obstructive sleep apnea has been linked to several detrimental outcomes including excessive daytime sleepiness, enhanced sympathetic nervous system activity, increased cardiovascular risk, and impaired cognition [1, 2, 3].
10 Μαΐ 2022 · Results. Participants' age ranged from 60 to 87 years with a mean of 70.02 ± 7.31, 59.8% female. In the univariate analysis, body mass index (BMI, kg/m 2) (p = 0.049) and waist circumference (p = 0.005) were significantly higher in the participants with moderate OSA, but not among those with severe OSA.
Current evidence suggests that the pathological mechanisms underlying obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are altered with age. However, previous studies examining individual physiological traits known to contribute to OSA pathogenesis have been assessed in isolation, primarily in healthy individuals.
