The Dangers of Ignoring Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Other indicative factors that heighten the risk of developing sleep apnea include:

• Age (usually between 40 to 70 years of age)
• Weight (specifically in the range of obesity)
• Family history of OSA or other forms of sleep apnea
• Gender (Men are 3 times more likely to be diagnosed with OSA, but this could also mean that women are underdiagnosed)
• Menopause
