The Berlin
Questionnaire....A very good screening tool
for Sleep Apnea. I would suggest that anyone
should take this short quiz, and revisit it
yearly or anytime there is a change in energy
level.
About 31% of all men and 21% of all women
over 18 are at “high risk” for OSA, based
on analysis of the
National Sleep Foundation’s 2005 Sleep in
America Poll.
Approximately One Third Of
Adults Who Visit a Primary Care Physician Are At
Risk For Sleep Apnea
Approximately One in Five
Adults Have at least Mild Apnea
