Reply to comment by BardTheBoatman in Research found among nearly 100 teens who underwent brain scans, those with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) tended to have thinner tissue at the brain's surface, and some signs of inflammation in a brain area key to memory and learning. by Wagamaga
I’ve read that sleep apnea may be under diagnosed because it tends to get attributed to obesity. Due to that bias people just assume someone at a healthy size and weight won’t have it

No doubt it is under diagnosed. It has long been viewed as a thing obese people and elderly people have, so single people who don't have someone in bed with them telling them "hey you snore but you also like stopped breathing for a bit" are likely to attribute their fatigue and brain fog to anything but sleep apnea.
