Arterial stiffness alteration and obstructive sleep apnea in an elderly cohort free of cardiovascular event history: the PROOF cohort study.

These results may suggest potential protective and adaptive mechanisms in older sleep apnea patients. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATIONS: NCT 00759304 and NCT 00766584 .
