Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Assessment in the elderly. Preliminary results.

Conclusions: 53% of the subjects examined have an intermediate-high risk of OSA. The percentage of low-risk subjects decreases with increasing age. We expect the data to be further strengthened with the balance of the F:M ratio. Correlations between the risk of OSA and other parameters are in progress, starting from neurological ones.
