Re: More scary research on APNEA
Is what they are trying to tell us, not breathing while we sleep is hard on our health, that's scary.

Maybe I missed it, but I'm wondering if these stats were derived from people diagnosed but untreated, or with therapeutic treatment?

I don't think this is scary but instead provides answers as to why some families seem to suffer tragically from higher stroke, and cancer incidence. This is good news because it may lead to earlier and better detection of apnea.

Or, alternatively, avoid living in Western Australia.SleepWrangler wrote:I believe this is the direct link: http://www.aasmnet.org/jcsm/ViewAbstract.aspx?pid=29425rkuntz wrote:My bad.

"IMHO", the higher incidence of strokes is related to the increased intracranial pressure from being upside-down all the time.

Re: More scary research on APNEA
Instead of us all sitting around and wondering... I emailed the author directly and asked him. I'll follow up w/his answer if he responds.kteague wrote:Maybe I missed it, but I'm wondering if these stats were derived from people diagnosed but untreated, or with therapeutic treatment?

Re: More scary research on APNEA
As children in the northern hemisphere at some point fantasize that people in Australia and China live upside-down,
children in those areas may at some time wonder if we are the ones who are upside-down.
Adults are rarely confused to this degree, and it may be a sign of extreme psychosis.

Re: More scary research on APNEA
I just don't see how we can get over the equator without falling off. Thinking about it even makes me dizzy. I've crossed the equator twice, we all stood up and jumped as we went over it so the plane wouldn't hit the water.

Re: More scary research on APNEA
I received an email from the author of this article. Here is what he writes: (copy/paste job)
Hi Christina
These are people who lived in the Western Australian town of Busselton in 1990. So they weren’t in the study because they had already been diagnosed with OSA. So the cohort is made up of people who both did and did not have OSA. The people who tested positive to OSA were sent a letter once the sleep studies were scored telling them that they had OSA and should probably get treatment for their condition. Our third author Dr Cullen even set up a sleep clinic service in Bunbury (the town next door) to help people get treated. But none of the participants ever presented to him. So we think that the people with moderate-sever OSA in this study had probably not ever been treated with CPAP.
I hope that answered your questions?
Kind Regards
