Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive collapse of the upper airway during sleep, leading to intermittent hypoxemia, cognitive impairment, and cardiovascular morbidities. Major risk factors include male gender, obesity, advanced age, and family history, with clinical features such as snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness.
