TLDR
A significant association was found between the complaint of excessive daytime sleepiness and the incidence of sleep apnea, and workers with more than 10 apneas per hour of sleep complained significantly more about loud snoring, hypermotility in sleep, and frequent headaches.Abstract:
Seventy-eight workers, drawn from a population of 1502 presumably healthy working men who were interviewed about sleep habits and sleep disorders, underwent polygraphic recordings for at least 1 night. A significant association was found between the complaint of excessive daytime sleepiness and the incidence of sleep apnea. Workers with more than 10 apneas per hour of sleep complained significantly more about loud snoring, hypermotility in sleep, and frequent headaches. They had significantly more ENT findings and hypertension.read more

TL;DR: The prevalence of undiagnosed sleep-disordered breathing is high among men and is much higher than previously suspected among women, and is associated with daytime hypersomnolence.

Effects of age on sleep apnea in men: I. Prevalence and severity.
TL;DR: The study shows that the prevalence of sleep apnea tends to increase with age but that the clinical significance (severity) of apnea decreases, and that the sleep laboratory criteria used for diagnosis ofSleep apnea should be adjusted for age.

TL;DR: The most important cause of morbidity and functional disability of this disease is arthropathy, which can be reversed at an initial stage, but not if the disease is left untreated for several years.

The Efficacy of Surgical Modifications of the Upper Airway in Adults With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
TL;DR: Analysis of the uvulopalatopharyngoplasty papers revealed that this procedure is, at best, effective in treating less than 50% of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and the basis for the American Sleep Disorders Association's practice parameters on this subject is provided.
