Gender and Ethnicity Mediates the Impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Risk on Cognitive Abilities

159 adults (55–93 yr) in Alzheimer cohorts completed STOP-Bang. Logistic models tested OSA risk with sex–ethnicity interaction for cognitive diagnoses. Intermediate (OR≈3) and high (≈7) risk heightened impairment odds; Hispanic women were most susceptible. Results call for culturally tailored OSA-dementia prevention.
