Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea May Slow Cognitive Decline in Older Adults

GSA 2025 Abstract

Abstract

Research links obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to negative cognitive outcomes, but studies linking OSA treatment to cognitive decline have yielded inconsistent results. We investigated whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment was associated with cognitive performance over 10 years (2011-2021) among older adults with OSA.
