Abstract in brief

  • The study found that patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) appeared younger after one month of CPAP treatment compared to baseline and placebo, suggesting an improvement in facial appearance.
  • Observers rated patients as looking roughly 4 years younger after CPAP treatment, and factors like sleep duration and oxygen saturation levels predicted this perceived age reduction.
  • The results imply that the cosmetic benefit of appearing younger may motivate adherence to CPAP therapy, potentially enhancing treatment compliance in OSA patients.]
