It is often not suspected in women because traditionally OSA has been considered a 'man's' disease. Recent data indicates that even though OSA may be more common in men, it is not uncommon in women. Symptoms in women are often different and subtler compared to those in men.") MeSH browser, July 13, 2007 (Sleep Apnea Syndromes.
