According to a study by AIIMS in 2009, the number of patients suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea in India is about 13% and out of them, only 4% go to the doctor. Patients with COVID-19 and  Obstructive Sleep Apnea may be at higher risk for mortality or showed poor clinical outcomes, according to results from a systematic review, published in Sleep Medicine Reviews.

The Monash University in its new study found that Obstructive Sleep Apnea has been linked to an increased risk of dementia. This study which was published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and led by Dr. Melinda Jackson from the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health found that severe obstructive sleep apnea is linked to an increase in a protein called beta-amyloid which builds upon the walls of the arteries in the brain and increases the risk of dementia.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder that occurs when muscles around the soft tissues like the tongue and soft palates relax temporarily. When these muscles relax, the airway becomes blocked and a snoring sound can be heard.
