Summary
This study looks at whether successfully treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in older adults can improve memory and lower Alzheimer's-related brain changes. About 200 cognitively normal adults aged 55-85 with moderate-to-severe OSA will either receive immediate treatment (CPAP, oral appliance, or positional therapy) or join a waitlist. Researchers will track memory, thinking skills, and blood markers of Alzheimer's over two years to see if better sleep leads to better brain health.
