Abstract Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and depression can be simultaneously present in a patient. The aim of this article is to summarize the prevalence of OSA in different countries across the world and demonstrate the association between OSA and depression along with other cognitive disorders.
Methods: PubMed/ Medline and Goggle Scholar was searched for relevant articles between 2001 and May 2023. Among the selected literature some article were excluded based on the exclusion criteria. 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%). Link between OSA and cognitive dementia has also been identified.
Conclusion: Prevalence of both OSA and depression is high in the community. Primary care physician should be able to detect these early and ensure proper treatment.
