Association Between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Prostate Cancer: NHANES and the Mendelian Randomization Study
The findings indicate that while there is no significant association between OSA and prostate cancer in the overall analysis, a significant negative correlation exists in the younger population. The lack of significant association in the Mendelian randomization analysis may be due to the inability to perform age stratification. Further prospective studies and mechanistic research are needed to better understand the biological mechanisms underlying this association.
