Ethnicity and obstructive sleep apnoea.

Sleep medicine reviews - 1 Dec 2005

Abstract excerpt

There is a scarcity of adult prevalence studies of OSA outside the Caucasian populations of North America, Europe and Australia, and comparisons have been complicated by methodological differences in sleep study settings, respiratory events definition, measured risk factors and clinical outcomes, and the lack of objective parameters for the measurement of ethnicity itself. Comparing studies with the same...
