Clinical Characteristics of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
TL;DR: To examine whether traditional risk factors are common in older adults with obstructive sleep apnea, a large number of them are known to be common in younger adults with OSA.

Sally Bailes,Eva Libman,Eva Libman,Eva Libman,Marc Baltzan,Marc Baltzan,Rhonda Amsel,Ron Schondorf,Ron Schondorf,Catherine S. Fichten,Catherine S. Fichten,Catherine S. Fichten +11 more
TL;DR: The important clinical implication of the new Empirical Sleepiness and Fatigue Scales is in the ability to identify "sleepiness which is not fatigue," a construct closely related to primary sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome, for which there is both available and effective treatment.

Sex differences in the associations of obstructive sleep apnoea with epidemiological factors.
Tianyi Huang,Brian M. Lin,Sarah C. Markt,Meir J. Stampfer,Meir J. Stampfer,Francine Laden,Frank B. Hu,Frank B. Hu,Shelley S. Tworoger,Susan Redline +9 more
TL;DR: Substantial sex differences exist in the associations with various factors, suggesting sex-specific mechanisms in OSA, and these include physical inactivity, hypertension and daytime sleepiness.

TL;DR: It is concluded that SDB is associated with excess sleepiness in community-dwelling, middle-aged and older adults, not limited to those with clinically apparent sleep apnea.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale may not reflect objective measures of sleepiness or sleep apnea
TL;DR: The data suggest that the subjectively derived ES cannot be used as a surrogate for the objectively determined Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSL) or measures of sleep apnea severity.

TL;DR: The accident liability of the drivers has been evaluated using a multivariate statistical model; for some drivers, accident liability is shown to be sensitive to daytime sleepiness.
