Sleep Apnea and the Risk of Dementia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Role of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in President Biden's Slide Into Dementia
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
Dr. Kevin O’Connor, DO, disclosed on the 2024 presidential health report that Biden has obstructive sleep apnea and wears a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device at night.
Guay-Gagnon et al from the Department of Medicine, Division of Geriatrics, Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, published a systematic review and meta-analysis applicable to Biden:
“Eleven studies were included, comprising 1,333,424 patients. Patients with sleep apnea had an increased risk of developing any type of neurocognitive disorder (HR: 1.43 [95% CI 1.26-1.62]), Alzheimer's disease (HR: 1.28 [95% CI 1.16-1.41]), and Parkinson's disease (HR: 1.54 [95% CI 1.30-1.84]).”
We can add sleep apnea to his list of neurodegenerative determinants including advanced age, two prior craniotomies, permanent atrial fibrillation, and six mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. It is getting more difficult every day for Dr. O’Connor to deny Biden’s cognitive decline. As Biden nears the end of his political career, the amount of reversal his doctor will have to do from his report five months ago is substantial. It is never wise for a doctor to paint a rosy picture to satisfy the ego of the patient, family, or his political party. O’Connor will live to regret this statement February 28, 2024.

He entered office with many deficits, physical, mental, and ethical.
I can see why this is true. CPAP has done wonders for my thinking and for my heart. Undiagnosed sleep apnea was a major contributor to my heart failure. My cardiologist failed to order a simple sleep study after my CABG x 4. (He was blinded and fixated upon 3 letters - LDL.) I didn't have the classic symptoms, but had severe sleep apnea. I didn't snore and I am not overweight. CPAP has done wonders for me.
