New Study Reveals High Risk of Sleep Apnea
A recent study has shed light on a global health crisis: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
In the United States, about 25 million adults suffer from it, yet it remains a hidden threat because an estimated 80โ90% of cases are never diagnosed.
The rise in OSA is largely linked to the obesity epidemic, and it is more common in men and older adults.
Untreated, sleep apnea is dangerous; it is strongly linked to cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, cognitive decline, and increased risks of accidents due to daytime fatigue.
Clinical evidence confirms that the health impacts of OSA are often reversible.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy effectively manages the condition, helping to lower blood pressure and even reverse neurological damage.
