Forty percent of Canadians will suffer from a sleep disorder sometime in their life and researchers at UBC Hospital have been conducting a nation-wide study.
The study examines whether genetic, protein and other blood-based signs can predict cardiovascular, cognitive and metabolic conditions in people with obstructive sleep apnea.
More than 1,300 patients have been recruited for the sleep study.
