Description
Junzhi Chen and co-authors study, in 2025, whether sleep apnea links to past bone fractures, and whether age changes that link. Participants were recruited across Guangdong Province in China and took a home sleep test with a wearable monitor. Fracture history came from what participants reported, based on doctor diagnoses.
More than five thousand people were included. Apnea was common, and it linked to past non-injury fractures in the middle and older age groups, but not in the youngest group. Older people with both apnea and poor sleep quality also had higher odds of past injury fractures. Age and alcohol use shaped the pattern, the authors report.
