Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a common condition marked by breathing interruptions during sleep, accelerates aging by hastening telomere shortening. However, a study found that using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can counteract this effect. CPAP, while often resisted due to its complexity, not only helps in cardiovascular and metabolic aspects but also curtails inflammation, slowing down telomere reduction.
