Increased prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing in adults. (2013, result): “The findings were corroborated by other US populationbased studies (11), but these prevalence rates were estimated more than a decade ago (12, 13).”
Excess weight and sleep-disordered breathing. (2005, background): “(4) Pennsylvannia, AHI 15, BMI n 1,000 W Laboratory 32.”
Sleep apnea and cardiovascular disease: an American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Foundation Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association Council for High Blood Pressure Research Professional Education Committee, Council on Clinical Cardiology, Stroke Council, and Coun (2008, background): “In a southern Pennsylvania cohort, CSA at a severity level of 20 apneas per hour (central apnea index [CAI] 20) was not seen in men 65 years of age or women of any age (44,45).”
The epidemiology of adult obstructive sleep apnea. (2008, background): “Hormonal influences are also likely to have an important role in pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea, as disease prevalence is higher in post- versus pre-menopausal women (9).”
Pathophysiology of adult obstructive sleep apnea. (2008, background): “Further, the prevalence of OSA is two to three times greater in men than in women (3, 5, 6) and in older individuals (>65 yr) compared with middle-aged individuals (30–64 yr) (7).”
Association of sleep apnea and type II diabetes: a population-based study. (2005, background): “However, the prevalence of central sleep apnea in other population studies is extremely low (15, 41).”
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in the Sao Paulo Epidemiologic Sleep Study. (2009, result): “Most of the earlier studies did not include individuals over the age of 70 [6,9– 14]; since older populations have a higher prevalence of OSAS [7,8], this may have led to underestimates of the prevalence.”
Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder in the population-a review on the epidemiology of sleep apnea. (2015, background): “The prevalence of OSA defined at an AHI ≥5 were a mean of 22% (range, 9-37%) in men and 17% (range, 4-50%) in women (Table 1, Figure 1) (3,8-17).”
Epidemiology of obstructive sleep apnea: a population health perspective. (2002, background): “Results from studies of cohorts in Wisconsin (11), Pennsylvania (15, 16), and Spain (17) are given in Table 1 ( see the A PPENDIX for descriptions of these and other large population-based cohorts).”
