Abstrakt: A recent study conducted at King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia focused on assessing the prevalence of sleep disorders among elderly individuals. The research found that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and restless legs syndrome (RLS) were common among the elderly population in Saudi Arabia.
