Association between OSA and cognitive disorders by race.

Prevalence of probable OSA (%) CIND Dementia
Crude OR (95% CI) Adjusted ORa (95% CI) Crude OR (95% CI) Adjusted ORa (95% CI)
Total sample 59.7
 High vs low OSA risk 1.21 (1.09, 1.34) 1.22 (1.08, 1.37) 1.12 (0.94, 1.34) 1.27 (1.04, 1.54)
Whites 58.1
 High vs low OSA risk 1.25 (1.10, 1.42) 1.35 (1.17, 1.57) 1.04 (0.83, 1.32) 1.24 (0.96, 1.60)
Non-whites 66.3
 High vs low OSA risk 1.01 (0.84, 1.21) 0.98 (0.81, 1.19) 1.13 (0.86, 1.48) 1.23 (0.91, 1.66)

Association (adjusted OR and 95% CI) between OSA risk (exposure) and CIND or dementia (outcome), by race (Whites and non-Whites) (imputed dataset). aAdjusted for age, education, marital status, smoking, alcohol, and physical activity. The models for the total population were further adjusted for race/ethnicity. CI = confidence interval, CIND = cognitive impairment not dementia, OR = odds ratio, OSA = obstructive sleep apnea.
