Article Synopsis
- Classic cardiovascular risk factors don't fully explain heart issues; obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is emerging as a significant risk factor in middle-aged individuals with mild to moderate cardiovascular risks.
- In a study with 966 participants, 72.6% were found to have OSA, indicating a strong prevalence, with notable subgroups classified as having mild and moderate/severe OSA.
- The research suggests that OSA-related low oxygen levels (measured by mean oxygen saturation and time with low saturation) are linked to increased atherosclerotic disease, highlighting the need to consider OSA in cardiovascular health assessments.
