Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent sleep disorder that causes sleep fragmentation, frequent awakenings, and intermittent hypoxia. Both OSA and cognitive decline increase in prevalence with factors such as increasing age and body mass. Multiple areas of cognition can be affected, including attention, executive function, memory, as well as emotional functioning through direct effects on brain health. Although positive airway pressure therapy has shown to improve some aspects of cognitive functioning, it does not fully alleviate all cognitive complaints. Inclusion of complementary approaches to comorbidities associated with OSA could potentially enhance treatment outcomes.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）是一种常见的睡眠障碍，可导致睡眠碎片化、频繁觉醒和间歇性缺氧。OSA 和认知能力下降的患病率都会随着年龄和体重等因素的增加而增加。多个认知领域都会受到影响，包括注意力、执行功能、记忆以及通过对大脑健康的直接影响而导致的情绪功能。尽管气道正压疗法已被证明可改善某些认知功能，但它并不能完全缓解所有认知问题。将补充疗法纳入与 OSA 相关的共病中，可能会增强治疗效果。
