Sleep Apnea May Increase Alzheimer's Risk for Those Genetically Predisposed
Analyzing the results and possibilities for the future
According to Dr. Johnson, the effect of the various sleep factors studied was found to have a small effect on cognition processes. However, they may trigger other important factors or help worsen other conditions, such as dementia. For that reason, constant screening and proper treating of sleep-disordered breathing is considered an excellent habit for people interested in reducing the risk of suffering any cognition problems in the future. This is especially true if an individual is found to be carrying the APOE-ε allele.
