Sex-specific Age-Related Worsening of Pathological Endotypic Traits in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is more prevalent in men and older adults. Few studies have explored variations in pathological endotypic traits by age and sex using a large patient sample, offering insights into the development of the disease. Our study aims to examine how endotype characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea vary across age in different sex.
