Figure 1.
Conceptual framework for studying the relationship between OSA and cognitive impairment. The figure presents a list of factors that could be subjected to investigation in order to elucidate the relationship between OSA and cognitive impairment. It should be noted that this list is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be exhaustive. The images were adapted from BioRender.com. Abbreviations: AHI, apnea–hypopnea index; ApoE4, apolipoprotein E4; HRV, heart rate variability; ODI, oxygen desaturation index; OSA, obstructive sleep apnea; ORP, odds-ratio product; PSG, polysomnography; PWAD, pulse wave amplitude drop; SpO2, oxygen saturation; SWA, slow-wave activity; T90, sleep time with oxygen saturation <90%.
