The results of the remaining article was studied and summarized to derive a conclusion. Result: The prevalence of OSA ranges between 3.57% to 26.94% in different countries. The study predicts that a significantly high prevalence of depression is seen in subjects with OSA (21.8%) compare to those without OSA (9.43%).
