Gender Differences in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Preliminary Clinical and Polysomnographic Investigation
This study improves the knowledge on gender-related cognitive impairment in OSA patients. Our preliminary findings demonstrate that the ROCF Recall Test may be altered in OSA females, but not in males. Further longitudinal studies are needed to investigate whether OSA female patients will develop a frank dementia over time.
