Association of body fat composition and obstructive sleep apnea in the elderly: A longitudinal study

Obesity and aging are considered risk factors for developing sleep apnea syndrome (OSA). The aim of this study was to determine the association between body fat composition and OSA in healthy elderly subjects examined in a 7‐year longitudinal study.
