Untreated Sleep Apnea Doubles Parkinson’s Risk

Post by ChicagoGranny » Wed Nov 26, 2025 3:36 pm

Summary: A large analysis of more than 11 million medical records found that people with untreated obstructive sleep apnea face a substantially higher risk of developing Parkinson’s disease over time. Even after accounting for factors like age, obesity, and cardiovascular conditions, those who did not use CPAP were nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed with Parkinson’s as those who treated their apnea.
