Sleep apnoea refers to breathing problems that may be experienced during sleep. It is a very common disorder that is usually associated with snoring and can often be so mild that most people are not aware they have it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

SNORE-ASA (SNORE-ASA:\u00a0S<\/span>tudy of\u00a0N<\/span>eurocognitive\u00a0O<\/span>utcomes,\u00a0R<\/span>adiological and Retinal\u00a0E<\/span>ffects of\u00a0A<\/span>spirin in\u00a0S<\/span>leep\u00a0A<\/span>pnoea) is an ASPREE sub-study<\/a> to help determine if sleep apnoea adversely affects concentration and memory in older adults and if aspirin can help slow down associated changes in small blood vessels in the brain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What does participation involve?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

SNORE-ASA sub-study participants wear a small sleep monitor overnight in their own bed and undertake two short thinking and memory exercises at the beginning of the ASPREE trial (prior to starting study medication), repeated at 1 and 3 year\u2019s time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some participants also volunteer to have a MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the brain and retinal photographs (specialised photography of the back of the eye).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Newly randomised ASPREE participants living in\u00a0Adelaide, Melbourne, Ballarat, Bendigo, Wodonga and Southern NSW\u00a0are eligible to\u00a0enrol in the SNORE-ASA sub-study.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
