Screening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Residents of a Unit of Long-term Care Under Mixed Food

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that affects 40% to 62% of the population aged over 60 years with major consequences especially on the cardiovascular system. This syndrome consists of a staff of the pharyngeal muscles. These muscles are also involved in swallowing phenomena and chews, or many elderly patients are subjected to a mixed diet, logically leading to atrophy of the muscles aerodigestive crossroads. Muscle wasting ENT induced a mixed food could promote collapsibility of VAS, exposing the individual to a higher risk of apnea and hypopnea during sleep. The objective of this study is to determine if there is a significant increase in the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in the elderly patients residing in long term care units, receiving a mixed food compared to residents in supply to normal texture.
