Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for many years has been thought to be a disease of men, but research performed more recently has revealed women are at significant risk for OSA as well as the morbidity associated with leaving it untreated. There are estimates that up to 90% of women with severe sleep apnea are not being diagnosed and that if diagnosed, they are less likely to be treated. This article will explore the sex differences in OSA, specifically addressing areas of prevalence, phenotypes, diagnostic criteria, and treatment.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）多年来一直被认为是男性的疾病，但最近的研究表明，女性患 OSA 以及未治疗相关发病率的风险同样巨大。据估计，高达 90%的重度睡眠呼吸暂停女性未被诊断，如果被诊断，她们接受治疗的可能性也较低。本文将探讨 OSA 的性别差异，特别是涉及患病率、表型、诊断标准和治疗等方面。
