- Higher Prevalence: An estimated 21% of veterans have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is more than twice as high a prevalence among nonveterans, 9%.
- Combat Exposure Impact: Veterans who have seen combat are 7.6 times more likely to experience sleep apnea than noncombat veterans, which speaks to the influence of military exposure on sleep health. Exposure to burn pits, toxic substances, and environmental toxins—particularly at sites such as Camp Lejeune—also heightens risk for respiratory conditions and sleep disorders.
- Co-occurring Conditions: Approximately 50% of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) also experience sleep apnea, making treatment and rehabilitation more difficult.
