Low Physical Activity Is a Determinant for Elevated Blood Pressure in High Cardiovascular Risk Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Physical activity is the major determinant for evening BP in adults with OSA presenting high cardiovascular risk. Our results emphasize the need for lifestyle counseling programs in combination with CPAP to encourage regular physical activity in OSA subjects to obtain better BP control.
