Respiration During Sleep in the Aged Human
Abstract
Sleep and respiration were evaluated on a single night in 40 elderly subjects, including 22 women (ages 62 to 85, mean = 74) and 18 men (ages 63 to 86, mean = 72.7). Sleep-related respiratory disturbances, apneas and hypopneas lasting 10 seconds or longer, were evaluated in each subject. The number of such disturbances ranged from 0 (in 5 women and 2 men) to 216. Seven women (31.8%) and eight men (44.4%) had greater than five respiratory disturbances per hour of sleep. In women, there appeared to be an age-related increase in respiratory disturbances, with a marked augmentation occurring in the eighth decade. In men, this age relationship was not apparent. In a number of cases, arousals associated with respiratory disturbances presented a clear disruption of nocturnal sleep (up to as many as 45 disturbances per hour). This high prevalence of sleep-related respiratory disturbance in aged individuals suggests a possible cause of sleep complaints in many elderly persons.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
