Summary

The overall goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of a lifestyle intervention, consisting of a weight loss diet and exercise on sleep apnea in older adults. The investigators will conduct a 3-month intervention in men and women who are sedentary with suspected sleep apnea. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will lead to marked improvements in sleep apnea severity and cardiovascular risk markers.
