Abstract:It has been well accepted that sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is associated with impaired neurocognitive and behavioral performance and may consequently cause motor vehicle accidents and occupational injuries [1][2][3]. However, the relevant pathophysiological mechanism causing this is unclear. In particular, the key determinants of the neurocognitive/ behavioral impairment in SDB are not known. Many candidate factors such as hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, apneahypopnea index (AHI), BMI, sleep time, and metab… Show more
Risk factors for SDB recognized in professional football linemen are also present at the college level. Screening may minimize present or future risk for SDB, as well as the downstream risk of SDB-associated metabolic and cardiovascular disease.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
