Apnea-hypopnea index, nocturnal arousals, oxygen desaturation and structural brain changes: A population-based study

Sleep apnea has been related to brain changes such as atrophy. However, which component of sleep apnea, the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), nocturnal oxygen desaturation or arousals, can explain this association is unclear. In this large population-based study (n=681, mean age 62.1 years), we investigat...
