Abstract
Nocturia is a common symptom in the elderly and is associated with sleep fragmentation, irregular heartbeats, diabetes and stroke. It may be associated with obstructive sleep apnea-Hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), and when present is seen more often in patients less than 50 years of age. OSAHS is often overlooked as a cause of nocturia, especially in the presence of coexisting diseases such as diabetes. OSAHS patients with frequent nocturia have higher body mass index (BMI), greater apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and worse quality of life. Nocturia is correlated with the severity of OSAHS and the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has shown to be beneficial. In this review, we discuss the various pathophysiologic mechanisms, clinical features and treatment options for patients with nocturia and obstructive sleep apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
