Age tends to increase the severity of sleep apnea. People in their 60s and 70s are more likely to develop obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Sleep apnea, both central and obstructive, also increases monotonically with age.
Sleep-related respiratory disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea or Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSA-CSR) associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), occur with increasing frequency in the elderly. There is a correlation between these disorders and systemic hypertension, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and cognitive impairment.
Changes in sleep patterns are associated with aging. The amount of slow wave sleep decreases in older individuals and increases in stage 1 and stage 2 non-rapid eye movement sleep due to spontaneous arousals. Due to a phase advance in their circadian sleep cycle, older people tend to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier.
