- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To assess obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk in older adults, we will use the STOP-BANG questionnaire. A score of three or higher (on a scale ranging from 0 to 8 points) will classify individuals as being at high risk for OSA. Participants at high risk will undergo a Home Polysomnography (HPSG) exam (type III) at the beginning and end of the study. The HPSG exam will provide data on several OSA parameters, including the apnea-hypopnea index, oxygen desaturation index, sleep efficiency and latency, and type of respiratory event;Assess Daytime Sleepiness using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) before and after treatment, with scores above 10 suggesting the diagnosis of excessive daytime sleepiness
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Assess Sleep Quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after treatment, with values greater than 10 points being considered a sleep disorder;Evaluate Physical Activity using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) adapted for older adults;Evaluate Physical Fitness through the Senior Fitness Test battery of tests;Evaluate Aerobic Fitness, by the maximum consumption of oxygen (VO2max), through an ergospirometric equipment;Evaluate Anthropometric Measurements, such as body mass, height, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, fat percentage, and neck circumference;Assess Quality of Life through the Quebec Sleep Questionnaire
