Abstract
Sleep-related breathing disorder in the elderly is common but not diagnosed and treated properly. Sleep apnea in the elderly differs
from that in young adults and does not show overt sign of it such as snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness. Co morbidities of elderly
patients make it difficult to diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea. Untreated sleep-related breathing disorders can cause cardiovascular
disease, cognitive impairment and dementia. Sleep-related breathing disorder is diagnosed with thorough history taking and
polysomnography. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is treatment of choice for sleep apnea in elderly. When patient failed to
adapt in CPAP, oral appliance or surgical approach can be considered.
