Untreated sleep apnea nearly doubles Parkinson’s risk; CPAP use lowers it by 30%.
Adults with untreated sleep apnea have nearly double the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, a large study of over 11 million U.S. veterans found.
Those who used CPAP machines within two years of diagnosis had a 30% lower risk.
The research, the largest of its kind, suggests oxygen deprivation from sleep apnea may harm brain cells or hinder waste clearance, contributing to Parkinson’s.
While there is no cure, early treatment of sleep apnea may help reduce risk, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis for long-term brain health.
