YouTube: Insidermedicine - Stroke (3X for men)

From Maryland - Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of stroke in middle-aged and older adults, especially among men, according to a report published online ahead of print in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. Men with moderate to severe sleep apnea were nearly three times more likely to have a stroke than those with no or mild sleep apnea. In women, the link was only found in patients with severe sleep apnea.
