A large cohort study published in JAMA on April 12, 2000. the title and authors:
Association of Sleep-Disordered Breathing, Sleep Apnea, and Hypertension in a Large Community-Based Study

F. Javier Nieto, MD, PhD; Terry B. Young, PhD; Bonnie K. Lind, MS; Eyal Shahar, MD, MPH; Jonathan M. Samet, MD, MS; Susan Redline, MD, MPH; Ralph B. D'Agostino, PhD; Anne B. Newman, MD, MPH; Michael D. Lebowitz, PhD; Thomas G. Pickering, MD; for the Sleep Heart Health Study

Kevin (in Walla Walla) has mentioned that Terry Young is continuing with what effects CPAP therapy has on hypertensive patients.

JAMA has changed their on line stuff, so that the full text article is not available unless you are a subscriber. I will email it to you if you like. The abstract is available at: http://jama.ama-assn.org/issues/v283n14/toc.html Click on the article title.

I canot find the article I was thinking of on RDI numbers and sleep severity. I will post it to the main page when I find it.

I have been updating all my main programs on this computer, a very time consuming job if you've put it off as I have. Now I am suffering from a nasty cold.
When I get caught up, I will do a little digging and see what I can come up with for you. I just may ask for a little help from a friend. It will be a few days. I will probably need to email stuff to you, as we can't post copy righted material on the forum.
