Forgot to add that dementia and sleep apnea are also strongly linked.
“Sleep apnea is linked to an increased risk of dementia, as it can lead to memory loss and cognitive decline over time by disrupting sleep and oxygen supply to the brain. Untreated sleep apnea is associated with neurological changes like increased cerebral microbleeds and a higher risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The relationship is complex and can be bidirectional, as dementia can also worsen sleep apnea.”
