Can Sleep Apnea Cause Alzheimer's?
I just wanted to let everyone know about an interview I'm doing tonight (3/17/ at 8PM Eastern) with Dr. Mack Jones, a neurologist and sleep apnea sufferer, on the possible links between obstructive sleep apnea and Alzheimer's. He has some convincing arguments. Click here to register and get the call-in details: http://tinyurl.com/czbpaw. There will be time for Q&A near the end of the hour. If you can't make it, you'll get the link to a recording, but only if you register.

70-90% of people with Alzheimer's have Sleep Apnea, according to the neurologist Dr. Mack Jones. He also thinks Sleep Apnea causes Alzheimers, although this link has not yet been thoroughly investigated.

Mike,
Thanks for joining us tonight. I think you'll agree we all have a lot more to think about. Even if sleep apnea causes 1/3 or 1/4 of all Alzheimer's, that's still a significant number. Given that fact that treating Alzheimer's patients with OSA with CPAP improves their cognition and functioning, it's definitely worth thinking about.
