Dementia-related apneas

Sleep apnea events during REM sleep are linked to verbal memory impairment in older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease. A new research highlights the importance of focusing on sleep-stage-specific apnea severity for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Women were found to have more REM-related apnea events, potentially increasing their Alzheimer's risk. The study underscores the need for personalized sleep apnea assessments to address cognitive decline.
