Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is one of the most common sleep disorders in lifespan. The prevalence of OSAS increases with age, and several preliminary studies showed the benefit of treating OSAS to prevent or improve dementia. However, the treatment of OSAS is not considered as a standard treatment option among neurologists. With this symposium, we will discuss 1) underlying mechanism of OSAS to increase risk of Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, 2) epidemiology and clinical features of OSAS in older adults, 3) treatment effect with continuous positive airway pressure device and the oral appliance of OSAS in dementia, and 4) the effort of stratifying high-risk group of dementia in patients with OSAS.
