About associated conditions for Sleep apnea:

Associated conditions are those which appear statistically related, but do not have a clear cause or effect relationship. Whereas the complications are caused by Sleep apnea, and underlying causes may be causes of Sleep apnea, the following list shows associated conditions that simply appear with higher frequency in people who have Sleep apnea. In some cases, there may be overlap between this list and risk factors for Sleep apnea. People with Sleep apnea may be more likely to get a condition on the list of associated conditions, or the reverse may be true, or both. Whether they are causes of, caused by, or simply coincidentally related to Sleep apnea is not always clear. For general information, see Associated Condition Misdiagnosis.
