Figure. Estimated differences in cognitive scores between Hispanic women and men over the AHI scores.

Figure

Estimates and their 95% confidence bounds are derived from sex by AHI 3% index interactions in survey linear regression models using data from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. Positive values indicate advantageous cognitive scores for women. Estimates are adjusted for age, sex, education, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, depressive symptoms using the shortened Center for Epidemiological Studies–Depression Scale, anxiety using the 10-item State-Trait Anxiety Inventory summary score, smoking status, body mass index, and field center. The x-axis represents the AHI with 3% desaturation. The y-axis represents the average estimated difference in neurocognitive test score between female and male respondents. AHI = apnea-hypopnea index; B-SEVLT = Brief–Spanish English Verbal Learning Test; DSS = Digit Symbol Substitution of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–Revised; WF = Word Fluency or Controlled Oral Word Association Test of the Multilingual Aphasia Examination.
