Evaluating the Prevalence and Implications of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Among Somali-Americans: A Translational Research Study
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
The investigators seek to advance the understanding of obstructive sleep apnea as it relates to different ethnic origins as well as sex differences. The investigators will compare Somali patients with known obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to individuals without OSA, and to individuals of other ethnic/racial origins to determine the risk factors (genetic and/or physiologic) associated with developing cardiovascular diseases. This will help the investigators to understand the unique sleep pathology of individuals of African descent.
