Adult obstructive sleep apnoea: Pathogenesis, importance, diagnosis and imaging
SummaryObstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a serious worldwide health problem. Moderate ‐to‐severe OSA has been found in up to 50% of men and 25% of women in the middle‐aged population. It results in a fourfold increase in all causes of mortality. The prevalence of OSA is underestimated, partly due to absence of symptoms but also lack of knowledge amongst the population at large as well as sectors of the medical profession. Imaging, performed predominantly by clinicians and research scientists, has been integral to evaluating the anatomical basis of OSA. Increased nasal resistance and a narrowed and elongated orophary...

Healthy men (n = 7604) aged 55–75 completed the six-item Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Questionnaire (MOSSQ) at baseline in a large, randomized clinical trial [the Reduction by Dutasteride of Prostate Cancer Event...
