1 Μαρ 2022 · Untreated OSA is associated with cognitive impairments and problems with mood, memory, and alertness. Researchers believe that sleep apnea may cause brain damage due to the long-term effects of chronic sleep deprivation, as well as oxygen deficiency and the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier.
26 Αυγ 2024 · Studies have shown that individuals with long-standing sleep apnea may experience reductions in gray matter volume in various brain regions, including areas responsible for memory, attention, and executive function. The question of whether brain damage caused by sleep apnea is reversible is an area of ongoing research.
13 Αυγ 2012 · If sleep apnea (reported by subject or partner), daytime sleepiness, and obesity were also present, the odds ratio increased to 8.0 (95% CI, 1.07 to 356.1). Palomaki concluded that snoring could be a risk factor for ischemic stroke, likely because of the higher prevalence of OSA among snorers.
6 Μαΐ 2021 · 32 Citations. Explore all metrics. Abstract. Purpose of Review. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive episodes of complete or partial upper airway obstruction during sleep. Studies indicate that OSA is an independent risk factor for cognitive decline in older patients.
3 Φεβ 2024 · Sleep apnea affects approximately 22 million Americans and can lead to brain damage and cognitive decline. Untreated sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart disease, dementia, and other serious health complications.
8 Σεπ 2014 · Results show that participants with severe, untreated sleep apnea had a significant reduction in white matter fiber integrity in multiple brain areas. This brain damage was accompanied by impairments to cognition, mood and daytime alertness.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is accompanied by structural brain changes, as shown by neuroimaging findings from several groups. These neural changes likely contribute to central nervous system dysfunction in OSA, including psychological and physiologic comorbidities.
