Description
Ana Paula Assuncao Cecilio and co-authors study sleep apnea in adults with Down syndrome in a 2025 paper. Breathing disorders in sleep are common in this group. Data on adults, rather than children, are scarce.
Life expectancy has risen, and early aging is a known feature. Overnight sleep studies measured apnea severity in the group. The team tied severity to cognitive status at assessment. Stable cognition was compared with early and full dementia. Sleep quality assessment is framed as part of dementia care. Readers get early findings on a treatable factor that may speed decline.
