Sleep Apnoea Study Uncovers More Hidden Dangers for Women
A study recently undertaken at the UCLA School of Nursing has revealed more health risks in women who have obstructive sleep apnoea. OSA in women is often missed and difficult to diagnose because symptoms are not pronounced.
According to Paul Macey, the lead author for the study, OSA in women can have deadly results. Their findings are that obstructive sleep apnoea affects the autonomic responses of the body such as heart rate, blood pressure, and sweating. As a result, the responses are weaker and affect the health of people with OSA especially women. Women with OSA are therefore more likely to suffer from heart conditions and heart attacks.
