Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the insufficient scientific understanding of sleep apnea in elderly individuals (65+ years) in Spain, focusing on the current healthcare practices and changes over recent years.
- Researchers conducted a cross-sectional analysis of healthcare data from 2002 to 2008, revealing that 24.3% of sleep studies were performed on seniors, with a majority showing significant sleep apnea severity.
- Although there was a noted decrease in CPAP prescriptions among elderly men early in the study period followed by an increase, there were no significant changes in results over time, highlighting the need for further clinical research targeting this age group.
