The study is the first of its kind to estimate OSA prevalence in the United States between 2020 and 2050. It used an open-cohort dynamic population model factoring in changes in age, sex, and BMI.<\/p>\n<p>OSA is a chronic sleep-related breathing disorder where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep, affecting nearly 1 billion people globally<sup>2<\/sup>. It is linked to serious health consequences, including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and even stroke<sup>3<\/sup>. Yet, more than 80% of cases go undiagnosed and untreated<sup>4<\/sup>. The new research highlights an urgent need for earlier diagnosis of OSA, preventative strategies, and healthcare resource allocation to address this major public health problem.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <em>\u201c<\/em>This study reaffirms that the number of people with OSA is expected to dramatically increase,\u201d said Carlos Nunez, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Resmed and Study Co-Author. \u201cAs an industry, we must expand screening, increase awareness of symptoms among providers and consumers, and make it easier for people to get tested and treated, including at home. If we don\u2019t act, we risk missing tens of millions of people who need access to care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Led by researchers at Resmed through their medXcloud academic-industry collaborative, involving global academic thought leaders in the fields of sleep and respiratory medicine, the study also found:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:8pt\">\n          <strong>A 65% relative increase in OSA prevalence among women, reaching 30.4 million by 2050<\/strong>: The sharp rise, attributed to factors like an aging population and underdiagnosis<sup>5<\/sup>, underscores the need for greater awareness of how OSA presents differently in women to support earlier screening, diagnosis, and targeted treatment.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:8pt\">\n          <strong>A 19% relative increase in OSA prevalence among men, reaching 45.9 million cases by 2050:<\/strong> This continued rise reflects ongoing risk in aging male populations, highlighting the need for scalable diagnostic pathways and long-term treatment strategies.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt\">\n          <strong>The impact of GLP-1 therapies on future OSA prevalence is anticipated to be limited, with reductions estimated at under 5%:<\/strong> Even with advances in emerging drugs, such as GLP-1s, the overall number of people affected by OSA is expected to continue growing. GLP-1 use is estimated to reduce relative OSA prevalence by only 4% by 2050, from nearly 77 million cases to nearly 74 million cases. These estimates, from a sensitivity analysis included in the study, reflect that obesity is only one of many factors contributing to OSA, and that the significant overall growth of OSA prevalence remains a public health priority.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Understanding how the prevalence of sleep apnea may grow, and who will be most affected, is essential for shaping smarter proactive health and public health strategies,\u201d said Atul Malhotra, MD, Senior Author of the Study, Vice Chair of Medicine for Research, Research Chief of Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep Medicine, and Physiology, and Peter C. Farrell Presidential Chair and Tenured Professor of Respiratory Medicine at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, and Pulmonologist at UC San Diego Health. \u201cThis study fills an important gap by helping health systems, payers, and policymakers anticipate what\u2019s coming so they can invest in earlier diagnosis, expand access to care, and improve long-term outcomes for millions of patients across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSleep apnea has long been underdiagnosed and underprioritized,\u201d said Elroy Boers, Ph.D., Lead Author of the Study and Research Scientist at Resmed. \u201cThis is the first data-driven forecast of how OSA may evolve, evidence that can drive earlier detection, proactive care, and smarter policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Resmed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=DNmzKYF5tiM1WBXe1W4UGo1ME48XU10gFdtxzpaO1wcLfieUnUUfknIMRJrITWFrlfvrFYUdF6c0RthywqpbpiJGHfhMsnia_zDOwGZr0YysH0c0RRpm2YdAQdosZz93sstt26ZTKxj6yU7BHC8OE058I8jg6hwpc0sPAEdQ9BC9tKaYrZvYXAkxCMxnrWvkMfBpyrWXsWsFh-UC3BBNLVDqKOKGM_IoPTKiIzzOA_Q=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a> results from a meta-analysis published in <em>The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, <\/em>which found that treating OSA with CPAP therapy can significantly reduce the risk of death<sup>6<\/sup>.
