In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder and has been increasingly recognized as a contributor to cognitive decline and a potential risk factor for neurodegeneration. Previous studies have identified several associated comorbidities, including vascular dysfunction, metabolic alterations, and neuroinflammatory changes. However, the impact and underlying interplay of these pathophysiological mechanisms remain poorly understood due to the lack of integrated, multidimensional assessment. This prospective, observational, longitudinal cohort study aims to investigate cognition and OSA-related physiological and pathophysiological processes in 100 adults newly diagnosed with OSA, who have no history of chronic diseases (except for overweight and obesity) and are not receiving chronic medication. A subgroup of patients with moderate to severe OSA indicated
