Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA): Men vs Women
Conclusion: Women had higher BMIs, ESS and lower AHIs than men. M: F ratio with AHI>15 was 2.54 which shows that fewer women than expected are being referred. Our M: F ratio of 2.10 in over 50’s reflects the known higher incidence of OSA in post-menopausal women, but remains below that expected from population studies. Thus more awareness is needed locally to improve recognition of OSA in our female population.
