Detailed explanation-1: -If left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems, including high blood pressure, heart trouble and even depression or anxiety.
Detailed explanation-2: -Age-related changes in chemosensitivity, and sleep architecture may promote central sleep apnoea in older people; while obstructive sleep apnoea is likely to be the result of increased collapsibility of the upper airway; possibly due to changes in upper airway anatomy and muscle function.
Detailed explanation-3: -Before age 50, it’s more common in men and people assigned male at birth (AMAB). After age 50, it affects women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB) at the same rate. People are more likely to develop it as they get older. Having excess weight or obesity strongly increases the risk of developing it.
Detailed explanation-4: -The more severe the obstructive sleep apnea, the greater the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attacks, heart failure and strokes. Obstructive sleep apnea increases the risk of abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), which can lower blood pressure.
