Longitudinal trajectories of sleep apnea parameters and cognitive decline: An 8-year follow-up study in a community-based cohort

Key Points

• Cognitive decline correlates significantly with sleep apnea parameters over 8 years, indicating a notable relationship.
• The study reports various tracked parameters, showing a clear link between sleep disturbances and cognitive performance.
• Longitudinal analysis across eight years highlights trends in cognitive decline related to sleep apnea indicators.
• Further investigation is warranted to pinpoint mechanisms linking sleep apnea to cognitive deterioration in diverse populations.
