Although obesity, aging, sex, craniofacial anatomy, and neuromuscular factors remain established contributors to OSA, ambient and indoor pollutants, together with climate-related and meteorological factors, may influence sleep-disordered breathing through multiple biological pathways. This review… Continue reading The role of air quality and pollution in obstructive sleep apnea: insights from recent studies
