Sleep apnea risk, subjective cognitive decline, and cognitive performance: Findings from the Boston Latino Aging Study (BLAST)
These findings suggest that self-reported sleep apnea risk may signal risk for cognitive decline in older Latinos. Screening for sleep apnea using a questionnaire may help identify those experiencing early cognitive decline or at risk of future decline. More work with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm these associations; BLAST data collection is ongoing.
