Abstract in brief

  • The study from the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort found that sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), including conditions like sleep apnea, is linked to a higher risk of both overall and cancer-specific mortality, with greater severity of SDB correlating with increased risk.
  • Using data over 22 years and measuring SDB severity through indices like the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and hypoxemia levels, researchers observed a dose-response relationship—meaning the more severe the sleep breathing problems, the higher the mortality risk.
  • The findings indicate that SDB may contribute to cancer mortality, highlighting the need for future research to confirm these results and explore how treating sleep apnea could impact cancer survival rates.]
