Screening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Residents of a Unit of Long-term Care Under Mixed Food

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that affects 40% to 62% of the population aged over 60 years with major consequences especially on the cardiovascular system.

This syndrome consists of a staff of the pharyngeal muscles. These muscles are also involved in swallowing phenomena and chews, or many elderly patients are subjected to a mixed diet, logically leading to atrophy of the muscles aerodigestive crossroads.

Muscle wasting ENT induced a mixed food could promote collapsibility of VAS, exposing the individual to a higher risk of apnea and hypopnea during sleep.

The objective of this study is to determine if there is a significant increase in the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in the elderly patients residing in long term care units, receiving a mixed food compared to residents in supply to normal texture.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: mixed food
experimental group with RU sleeping®, autonomy scale (ADL and AGGIR) and various activity scale (IADL)
Each patient included in the study has a test by RU-sleeping. The diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome will be asked for an index of respiratory events estimated as greater than or equal to 10.
