Abstract
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a condition resulting in overall decreased sleep quality. Many people worldwide continue to be undiagnosed and untreated for SDB, a major public health issue that leaves them at increased risk for accidents and cardiovascular disease. Evaluation of the efficacy of various survey methods to identify those at increased risk for SDB highlights the benefits of screening. It is highly recommended that early identification and treatment be carried out. The beneficial effects of maintaining the overall health of the population by focusing on prevention and identification through screening in the present decrease the risk of life-threatening situations resulting from SDB in the future.
