Learning objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

1. Describe race and sex specific physiologic mechanisms by which OSA increases Alzheimer’s disease risk
2. Describe the interactive effects of objectively measured OSA, Aβ & tau, on prospective cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease stage progression
3. Characterize brain Alzheimer’s disease pathology patterns in cognitively normal subjects with OSA
4. Characterize cognitively normal older adults with OSA at heightened risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
