Sleep fragmentation caused by sleep apnea can lead to daytime sleepiness(2, 4, 6, 7), increased risk for motor accidents(2, 6), and reduced quality of life. The physiological changes associated with these pauses are believed to contribute to the development of hypertension(2-4), diabetes mellitus(2), obesity(2), stroke(2, 3), and heart disease(2, 3). 000007677 650__ $$aPhenotype$$023948 000007677 650__ $$aSleep Apnea Syndromes$$026067 000007677 650__ $$a Cluster Analysis $$028809 000007677 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007677 7001_ $$aLi, Jason 000007677 8564_ $$9ba91e80b-fa6c-4cad-8278-f8da633a167e$$s2451087$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7677/files/Li.Jason.2017.pdf 000007677 905__ $$a/rest/prod/dz/01/0q/64/dz010q64c 000007677 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7677$$pstudent-work 000007677 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
