Study Summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in older adults and has recently been implicated in pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Research has shown that sleep disruptions have caused memory impairment. Sleep apnea is a form of sleep disruption. We would like to examine how obstructive sleep apnea may contribute to the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

Primary Outcome

The number of times a person stops breathing and periods of shallow breathing with a marked decrease in blood oxygen concentration every hour on average. A score lower than five indicates normal sleep (no sleep apnea), 5-15 indicates mild sleep apnea, 15-30 indicates moderate sleep apnea, and a score greater than 30 indicates severe sleep apnea. Result specified as change from room air condition to oxygen condition during the crossover trial
