Celiac disease may be associated with restless legs syndrome (RLS) because of an association with iron deficiency. Often, RLS negatively affects quality of life but may remain undiagnosed. This study evaluated the association between celiac disease and RLS.
During the past several years, the relationship between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been the subject of intense investigation.
Sleep affects brain function and may contribute to vascular cerebral pathology through a diversity of direct and indirect mechanisms. Circadian rhythm investigation shows increased incidence of stroke between 6 AM and 12 noon.
Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the most common form of treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Treatment adherence is notoriously low, and holidays from treatment are common.
Approximately 50% of older adults complain of difficulty sleeping. Poor sleep results in increased risk of significant morbidity and mortality.
