This WHAV 2025 session addresses obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in women, highlighting how phenotype and risk factors shift across life stages. Experts discuss how varying phenotypes contribute to delayed diagnosis and review screening tools, referral strategies, evidence linking OSA to cardiometabolic risks in menopause and pregnancy and available treatment options. The program underscores the importance of a precision medicine approach informed by phenotype, hormonal status, and patient goals at each stage of a woman’s life.
