Abstract
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a highly prevalent chronic disease in older adults. A growing body of evidence demonstrates that SDB in older adults is linked to many adverse cardiovascular, neurocognitive, and metabolic sequelae. However, several unanswered questions remain regarding the diagnosis, consequences, and treatment of SDB in older adults. This review presents the current evidence pertaining to the management of SDB in older adults and identifies crucial gaps in knowledge that need further investigation.
