Summary
This study looks at whether successfully treating moderate-to-severe sleep apnea can improve memory and reduce biological markers linked to Alzheimer's disease in older adults. Researchers will compare a group that receives immediate sleep apnea treatment (using CPAP, oral appliances, or positional therapy) to a waitlist control group. Both groups will be followed for 24 months to see if better sleep leads to lasting cognitive benefits and healthier Alzheimer-related blood markers.
