Overnight polysomnography and the recording of sleep and sleep-related respiration in orchestra musicians - possible protective effects of wind instruments on respiration.

The SI players showed highly significant positive correlations between age and sleep-related respiratory events (AHI: r = 0.774, p = 0 . 001 ; Hypopnea Index: r = 0.712, p = 0 . 004 ; Apnea Index: r = 0.752, p = 0 . 002 ) and a highly significant negative correlation between age and oxygen saturation (average oxygen saturation: r = -0.647; p = 0 . 009 ).
