Abstract
This article highlights the sex differences in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sheds light on the varying presentations, diagnostic challenges, as well as treatment responses observed in men and women. The disparities in prevalence, manifestations, and therapeutic outcomes underscore the need for a nuanced approach to OSA diagnosis and management that considers sex-specific factors. Furthermore, this article highlights the importance of recognizing and treating OSA during pregnancy, as it poses unique challenges and potential risks to both maternal and fetal health.

Sleep Breath 2023; 27:1695-1702. [PMID: 36571709 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-022-02766-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To determine the sensitivity of the Multivariable Apnea Prediction (MAP) index for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in pre- and post-menopausal women with the goal of developing a tailored scoring classification approach. METHODS Data from two studies (N = 386); the diabetes sleep treatment trial (N = 236) and EMPOWER (N = 150) were used to assess the sensitivity and specificity of the MAP index by comparing men (n = 129) to women (n = 257), and premenopausal (n = 100) to post-menopausal women (n = 136). We evaluated participants at two cut points, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) values of ≥ 5 and ≥ 10, using 0.5 as a predicted probability cut point to establish baseline sensitivity and specificity. Contingency tables and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the MAP index in predicting OSA in men versus women, and in pre-versus post-menopausal women. To select optimal predicted probabilities for classification by sex and menopausal status, Youden's J statistic was generated from ROC coordinates. RESULTS The MAP index was more sensitive to women in the AHI ≥ 5 group (76%) compared to AHI ≥ 10 group (30%). Among post-menopausal women with AHI ≥ 5, sensitivity was similar to men (98%), but less than men when AHI ≥ 10 (32%). Suggested probability cut points for women with an AHI ≥ 10 are 0.24 overall; 0.15 for premenopausal, and 0.38 for postmenopausal women. CONCLUSIONS Because women's risk for OSA (AHI ≥ 10) was underestimated by the MAP index, we suggest the use of tailored cut points based on sex and menopausal status or assessing for OSA risk with an AHI of ≥ 5.

Association of Heart Rate Variability with Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Adults. Medicina (B Aires) 2023; 59:medicina59030471. [PMID: 36984472 PMCID: PMC10054532 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59030471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is a noninvasive method used to examine autonomic system function, and the clinical applications of HRV analysis have been well documented. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between HRV and the apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) in patients referred for polysomnography (PSG) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis. Materials and Methods: Patients underwent whole-night PSG. Data on nocturnal HRV and AHI were analyzed. We determined the correlation of time- and frequency-domain parameters of HRV with the AHI. Results: A total of 62 participants (50 men and 12 women) were enrolled. The mean age, body mass index (BMI), neck circumference, and AHI score of the patients were 44.4 ± 11.5 years, 28.7 ± 5.2, 40.2 ± 4.8 cm, and 32.1 ± 27.0, respectively. The log root mean square of successive differences between normal heartbeats (RMSSD) were negatively correlated with BMI (p = 0.034) and neck circumference (p = 0.003). The log absolute power of the low-frequency band over high-frequency band (LF/HF) ratio was positively correlated with the AHI (p = 0.006). A higher log LF/HF power ratio (β = 5.01, p = 0.029) and BMI (β = 2.20, p < 0.001) were associated with a higher AHI value in multiple linear regression analysis. Conclusions: A higher log LF/HF power ratio and BMI were positively and significantly associated with the AHI during whole-night PSG in adult patients.

Abstract
Background
The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea is higher in women after menopause. This is suggested to be a result of an altered sex hormone balance but has so far not been confirmed in a population-based study.
Objective
To investigate whether serum concentration of estrogens and progesterone are associated with the prevalence of sleep apnea symptoms in middle-aged women of the general population.
Methods
We analyzed data from 774 women (40–67 years) from 15 study centers in seven countries participating in the second follow-up of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (2010–2012). Multiple logistic regression models were fitted with self-reported symptoms of sleep apnea as outcomes and serum concentrations of various estrogens and progesterone as predictors. All analyses were adjusted for relevant covariates including age, BMI, education, study center, smoking habits, and reproductive age.
Results
Among all included women, a doubling of serum concentrations of estrone and progesterone was associated with 19% respectively 9% decreased odds of snoring. Among snorers, a doubling of the concentrations of 17β-estradiol, estrone and estrone 3-sulfate was associated with 18%, 23% and 17% decreased odds of breathing irregularly, and a doubling of the progesterone concentration was further associated with 12% decreased odds of waking up suddenly with a chocking sensation. Other evaluated associations were not statistically significant.
Conclusions
Middle-aged women with low serum estrogen and progesterone levels are more likely to snore and report symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea.

A portrait of obstructive sleep apnea risk factors in 27,210 middle-aged and older adults in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging. Sci Rep 2022; 12:5127. [PMID: 35332170 PMCID: PMC8948183 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-08164-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2021] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Determining the prevalence and characteristics of individuals susceptible to present with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is essential for developing targeted and efficient prevention and screening strategies. We included 27,210 participants aged ≥45 years old (50.3% women) from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging. Using the STOP questionnaire combined to the percentage of body fat (%BF), we estimated the prevalence of individuals at high-risk for OSA in a sex and age-specific manner, and tested the relation with comorbidities, menopause and systemic inflammation. The prevalence was 17.5%, and was lower in women (13.1%) than in men (21.9%). A high level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein was the strongest factor associated with OSA risk and this association was 1.3-2.3 times higher in women than in men. OSA risk increased with age, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, anxio-depressive symptoms, asthma and arthritis. In women, post-menopausal status was associated with a high OSA risk. Nearly 1 adult out of 5 older than 45 is at risk for OSA in Canada. Comorbidities, menopause and systemic inflammation, more than age, explain increased OSA prevalence. Considering this high prevalence and associations with medical and mental comorbidities, health care practitioners should incorporate systematic OSA screening in their clinical procedures.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES In pregnancy, the prevalence of both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and depression increases. Research reveals an association in the general population with up to 45% of patients diagnosed with OSA having depressive symptoms. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between OSA and depression in pregnant women. METHODS One hundred and eighty-nine women ≥26 weeks pregnant were recruited from a tertiary perinatal hospital. This cross-sectional study measured OSA (Apnea Hypopnea Index, AHI, using an ApneaLink device) and symptoms of depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, EPDS). Data were collected from medical records including participant age, ethnicity, parity, BMI, smoking status, history of depression, and use of antidepressants. RESULTS Of the consenting women, data from 124 were suitable for analysis. Twenty women (16.1%) had OSA (AHI ≥ 5 events/h) and 11 (8.8%) had depressive symptoms (EPDS > 12). Women with OSA were more likely to have depressive symptoms after adjusting for covariates, odds ratio = 8.36, 95% CI [1.57, 44.46]. OSA was also related to higher EPDS scores and these were greater in women with a history of depression. CONCLUSIONS During late pregnancy women with OSA had eight times the odds of having depressive symptoms. Furthermore, an interaction was found between OSA and history of depression. Specifically, in women with no history of depression, OSA increases depressive symptoms. In women with a history of depression, OSA has an even stronger effect on depressive symptomology. This suggests screening for OSA in pregnancy may identify women prone to future depressive episodes and allow for targeted interventions.

Abstract
We defined gender-specific phenotypes for men and women diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) based on easy-to-measure anthropometric parameters, using a network science approach. We collected data from 2796 consecutive patients since 2005, from 4 sleep laboratories in Western Romania, recording sleep, breathing, and anthropometric measurements. For both genders, we created specific apnea patient networks defined by patient compatibility relationships in terms of age, body mass index (BMI), neck circumference (NC), blood pressure (BP), and Epworth sleepiness score (ESS). We classified the patients with clustering algorithms, then statistically analyzed the groups/clusters. Our study uncovered eight phenotypes for each gender. We found that all males with OSAS have a large NC, followed by daytime sleepiness and high BP or obesity. Furthermore, all unique female phenotypes have high BP, followed by obesity and sleepiness. We uncovered gender-related differences in terms of associated OSAS parameters. In males, we defined the pattern large NC–sleepiness–high BP as an OSAS predictor, while in women, we found the pattern of high BP–obesity–sleepiness. These insights are useful for increasing awareness, improving diagnosis, and treatment response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical characteristics of women with different obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) severity and adherence to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy have not been previously explored. Therefore, in this retrospective study we assessed OSA prevalence. predictors, clinical and polysomnographic (PSG) characteristics and adherence to CPAP therapy among adult Australian women. METHODS All female patients who underwent a diagnostic PSG between 2014/2015 were included. CPAP adherence was assessed during the study period between 2018/2019 using multiple regression model. RESULTS Among a total of 591 females included in this study (Aboriginal n=86), OSA was diagnosed in 458/591 (78%) patients; mild, moderate and severe OSA was present in 44%, 27% and 29% respectively. Older age, higher BMI and hypertension predicted the presence and severity of OSA. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score was not significantly different with [10 (5, 13)] or without [8 (5, 12)] OSA. PSG showed rapid eye movement (REM) sleep associated apnoea hypopnea index (AHI) was higher with all severity of OSA. Adherence to CPAP therapy was noted in 171 (57%) patients; 47% mild, 57% moderate and 63% with severe OSA respectively. Three multiple regression models [clinical, PSG parameters, OSA severity, combined (clinical and PSG)] showed combined model had strongest predictive value and demonstrated that higher ESS and more severe oxygen desaturation were associated with CPAP adherence irrespective of OSA severity. CONCLUSION Older age, higher BMI and presence of hypertension predicted the presence of OSA. REM sleep related AHI was higher. Adherence to CPAP was associated with symptomatic OSA and severe oxygen desaturation. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we assessed the clinical and polysomnographic (PSG) characteristics according to gender among Australian Aboriginal men and woman diagnosed to have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). METHODS In this retrospective study, all adult Aboriginal patients over 18 years of age diagnosed to have OSA with an apnea hypopnea index (AHI) > 5/hour over a 5 year period were included. RESULTS Of the 337 patients (168 females and 169 males), who underwent a diagnostic PSG, 297 (88%) were diagnosed to have OSA (AHI) >5/hour), 154/297 males (52%) and 143/297 females (48%). Amongst male and female patients with OSA, 63% and 37% were in the severe spectrum (AHI>30/hour). The male cohort had higher stage N1 NREM sleep (P<0.001), reduced N3 NREM sleep (P<0.001), higher AHI severity (P<0.001), higher NREM AHI (P<0.001), and high arousal index (P<0.005). REM sleep-related AHI was higher among female patients with all severity of OSA, along with severe oxygen desaturation during REM sleep. Among patients with severe OSA, the female cohort were younger (age 46 years vs 49 years, P=0.030) and had higher BMI with all severity of OSA, while males had larger neck circumference compared to females. Hypertension increased the odds of severe OSA versus the combined odds of mild and moderate OSA for both genders. CONCLUSION This study highlights some important differences in the way sleep apnea manifests in Australian Aboriginal males and females and further studies are warranted to explore avenues to look for a physiological basis for these observations and targeted interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder, often associated with multiple medical comorbidities as well as psychological difficulties. Among the latter, relationship difficulties as well as mood and anxiety symptoms have been reported, without a clear understanding of the mechanism. In the current study we wanted to further explore these aspects, while comparing groups of OSA individuals with good vs poor sleep. The primary goal of the study was to examine the relationship between sleep and adult attachment and secondly to explore the relationship between sleep and couple satisfaction as well as symptoms of depression and anxiety. METHODS Following diagnosis of OSA by overnight polysomnography, 102 participants completed several psychological measures (e.g. adult attachment, couple satisfaction, depression and anxiety symptoms) and sleep measures (sleep quality and daytime sleepiness). Variables of interest were compared between the OSA groups with either good/poor sleep quality or no/excessive daytime sleepiness. RESULTS Adult attachment avoidance was higher in individuals with low sleep quality (mean difference = 0.33, p = .04, d = 0.46) while adult attachment anxiety was higher in individuals with high daytime sleepiness (mean difference = 0.46, p = .04, d = 0.43). Individuals with either poor sleep quality or excessive daytime sleepiness had greater severity of depression and anxiety (both p < .05). CONCLUSIONS OSA patients with poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness have greater attachment insecurity and higher levels of depression and anxiety. A multidisciplinary approach including psychological interventions, should be considered in OSA cases with high levels of sleep disturbance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) often has a significant impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with social and psychological implications. For most OSA patients, a reduction in their HRQoL is due to symptoms such as poor sleep quality, excessive daytime somnolence, and fatigue with differences between gender. PURPOSE This study explores the CPAP treatment effect on self-perceived HRQoL related to gender, somnolence, and CPAP adherence. METHODS Out of 1082 consecutive Italian outpatients, 125 (82 M) (60.3 ± 9.6 years) completed the prospective observational study and were evaluated at the first visit (T0), and the follow-up visit (T1). Two self-reported HRQoL questionnaires were administered: six subscales Psychological General Well-Being Index (PGWBI) and 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12). RESULTS Scores of PGWBI and SF-12 MCS improved from T0 to T1. Patients with CPAP use ≥ 4 h/night showed a significant improvement in all dimensions evaluated, except for SF-12 PCS. At T1, participants with ESS > 10 improved in all scores, except SF-12 PCS. Gender comparison shows better-perceived HRQoL in males at first visit and CPAP follow-up visit. Variation of PGWBI was significantly correlated with CPAP use, ESS at T0 and T1 (p < 0.0001; r2 = 0.26). CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence on the effectiveness of CPAP treatment on perceived HRQoL. Participants with greater adherence to therapy, greater sleepiness, and greater improvement of daytime sleepiness with CPAP therapy, reported a higher quality of life improvement. Gender comparison shows better-perceived HRQoL in males at first visit and CPAP follow-up, despite a more considerable improvement in females.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a global health issue and is associated with obesity and oropharyngeal crowding. Global data are limited on the effect of ethnicity and sex on these relationships. We compare associations between the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and these risk factors across ethnicities and sexes within sleep clinics. METHODS This is a cross-sectional, multicenter study of patients with OSA from eight sleep centers representing the Sleep Apnea Global Interdisciplinary Consortium (SAGIC). Four distinct ethnic groups were analyzed, using a structured questionnaire: Caucasians (Australia, Iceland, Germany, United States), African Americans (United States), Asians (Taiwan), and South Americans (Brazil). Regression analyses and interaction tests were used to assess ethnic and sex differences in relationships between AHI and anthropometric measures (body mass index [BMI], neck circumference, waist circumference) or Mallampati score. RESULTS Analyses included 1,585 individuals from four ethnic groups: Caucasian (60.6%), African American (17.5%), Asian (13.1%), and South American (8.9%). BMI was most strongly associated with AHI in South Americans (7.8% increase in AHI per 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI; P < .0001) and most weakly in African Americans (1.9% increase in AHI per 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI; P = .002). In Caucasians and South Americans, associations were stronger in males than females. Mallampati score differed between ethnicities but did not influence AHI differently across groups. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate ethnic and sex variations in associations between obesity and OSA. For similar BMI increases, South American patients show greatest AHI increases compared to African Americans. Findings highlight the importance of considering ethnicity and sex in clinical assessments of OSA risk.

Abstract
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB)-related overnight hypoxemia is associated with cardiometabolic disease and other comorbidities. Understanding the genetic bases for variations in nocturnal hypoxemia may help understand mechanisms influencing oxygenation and SDB-related mortality. We conducted genome-wide association tests across 10 cohorts and 4 populations to identify genetic variants associated with three correlated measures of overnight oxyhemoglobin saturation: average and minimum oxyhemoglobin saturation during sleep and the percent of sleep with oxyhemoglobin saturation under 90%. The discovery sample consisted of 8,326 individuals. Variants with p < 1 × 10(-6) were analyzed in a replication group of 14,410 individuals. We identified 3 significantly associated regions, including 2 regions in multi-ethnic analyses (2q12, 10q22). SNPs in the 2q12 region associated with minimum SpO2 (rs78136548 p = 2.70 × 10(-10)). SNPs at 10q22 were associated with all three traits including average SpO2 (rs72805692 p = 4.58 × 10(-8)). SNPs in both regions were associated in over 20,000 individuals and are supported by prior associations or functional evidence. Four additional significant regions were detected in secondary sex-stratified and combined discovery and replication analyses, including a region overlapping Reelin, a known marker of respiratory complex neurons.These are the first genome-wide significant findings reported for oxyhemoglobin saturation during sleep, a phenotype of high clinical interest. Our replicated associations with HK1 and IL18R1 suggest that variants in inflammatory pathways, such as the biologically-plausible NLRP3 inflammasome, may contribute to nocturnal hypoxemia.

Sleep Med 2019; 56:80-89. [PMID: 30803831 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2019.01.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2018] [Revised: 11/13/2018] [Accepted: 01/15/2019] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a common complaint in the general population, which may be associated with a wide range of sleep disorders and other medical conditions. Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder characterized primarily by EDS, which involves a substantial burden of illness but is often overlooked or misdiagnosed. In addition to identifying low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hypocretin (orexin) levels, evaluation for narcolepsy requires in-laboratory polysomnography (PSG). Polysomnography is the gold standard for diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as well as other sleep disorders. However, the use of home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) to screen for OSA in adults with EDS has increased greatly based on its lower cost, lower technical complexity, and greater convenience, versus PSG. The most commonly used, types 3 and 4, portable monitors for HSAT lack capability for electroencephalogram recording, which is necessary for the diagnosis of narcolepsy and other sleep disorders and is provided by PSG. These limitations, combined with the increased use of HSAT for evaluation of EDS, may further exacerbate the under-recognition of narcolepsy and other hypersomnias, either as primary or comorbid disorders with OSA. Adherence to expert consensus guidelines for use of HSAT is essential. Differential clinical characteristics of patients with narcolepsy and OSA may help guide correct diagnosis. Continued EDS in patients diagnosed and treated for OSA may indicate comorbid narcolepsy or another sleep disorder. Although HSAT may diagnose OSA in appropriately selected patients, it cannot rule out or diagnose narcolepsy. Therefore, at present, PSG and MSLT remain the cornerstone for narcolepsy diagnosis.

Abstract
Background Several studies have investigated the prevalence and risk factors of depression in subjects with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. However, few studies have investigated the prevalence and risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in major depression. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and risk factors of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in a large sample of individuals with major depression. Methods Data from 703 individuals with major depression recruited from the research database of the sleep laboratory of the Erasme Hospital were analysed. An apnea-hypopnea index of ≥15 events per hour was used as cut-off score for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine clinical and demographic risk factors of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in major depression. Results The prevalence of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in major depression is 13.94%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that male gender, snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, lower insomnia complaint, presence of metabolic syndrome, age ≥ 50 years, BMI >30 kg/m2, ferritin >300 μg/L, CRP >7 mg/L and duration of sleep ≥8 h were significant risk factors of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in major depression. Conclusion Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a common pathology in major depression. The identification of these different risk factors advances a new perspective for more effective screening of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in major depression.

Logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine clinical and demographic risk factors of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in insomnia sufferers. Results The prevalence of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in our sample of insomnia sufferers was 13.88%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that male gender, snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, lower maintenance insomnia complaint, presence of metabolic syndrome, age ≥ 50 & <65 years, age ≥ 65 years, BMI ≥ 25 & <30 kg/m2, BMI >30 kg/m2, and CRP >7 mg/L were significant risk factors of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in insomnia sufferers. Conclusion Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a common pathology in insomnia sufferers. The identification of these different risk factors advances a new perspective for more effective screening of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in insomnia sufferers.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common clinical condition. The way that OSAS risk factors associate and converge is not a random process. As such, defining OSAS phenotypes fosters personalized patient management and population screening. In this paper, we present a network-based observational, retrospective study on a cohort of 1,371 consecutive OSAS patients and 611 non-OSAS control patients in order to explore the risk factor associations and their correlation with OSAS comorbidities. To this end, we construct the Apnea Patients Network (APN) using patient compatibility relationships according to six objective parameters: age, gender, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), neck circumference (NC) and the Epworth sleepiness score (ESS). By running targeted network clustering algorithms, we identify eight patient phenotypes and corroborate them with the co-morbidity types. Also, by employing machine learning on the uncovered phenotypes, we derive a classification tree and introduce a computational framework which render the Sleep Apnea Syndrome Score (SASScore); our OSAS score is implemented as an easy-to-use, web-based computer program which requires less than one minute for processing one individual. Our evaluation, performed on a distinct validation database with 231 consecutive patients, reveals that OSAS prediction with SASScore has a significant specificity improvement (an increase of 234%) for only 8.2% sensitivity decrease in comparison with the state-of-the-art score STOP-BANG. The fact that SASScore has bigger specificity makes it appropriate for OSAS screening and risk prediction in big, general populations.
