• The analysis emphasizes the role of continuous positive airway pressure and medications in managing OSA.
• Therapeutic interventions such as benzodiazepines may complicate management due to potential side effects with age.
• Further investigation is needed to optimize OSA treatment strategies tailored for the aging demographic.
