Exercise capacity remains supernormal, though mildly reduced in middle-aged military personnel with Moderate to Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Introduction The relationship between moderate to severe OSA and exercise capacity remains unclear. Prior studies showing a reduction in VO 2 max in this population have mostly involved middle-aged, overweight patients. We aimed to study this relationship in a similarly aged population of military p...

Description
Summary:Introduction The relationship between moderate to severe OSA and exercise capacity remains unclear. Prior studies showing a reduction in VO 2 max in this population have mostly involved middle-aged, overweight patients. We aimed to study this relationship in a similarly aged population of military personnel with previously undiagnosed moderate to severe OSA. Methods We studied late-career male military personnel who underwent CPET and polysomnography (PSG). Patients were categorized either into an OSA group (apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15 events/h) or a control group (AHI
