Interaction between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Shortened Telomere Length on Brain White Matter Abnormality

Conclusions:This study provides a first evidence of mediated interaction of short TL with OSA on brain WMC in a community-based sample. The results generate new hypotheses regarding mechanisms of impaired brain health in sleep apnea.Citation:Choi KM, Thomas RJ, Yoon DW, Lee SK, Baik I, Shin C.
