Subgroup analyses indicated that the prevalence of 32.22% (95% CI: 12.57\u201355.60) in mild OSA cases, 36.79% (95% CI: 11.13\u201367.06) in moderate cases, and 44.46% (95% CI: 30.38\u201358.98) in severe cases; polysomnography (PSG)-based studies reported a higher prevalence at 38.61% (95% CI: 31.94\u201345.27) than home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) at 26.85% (95% CI: 19.34\u201334.36). Prevalence varied significantly by cognitive assessment tool: Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) yielded 42.20% (95% CI: 34.83\u201349.57), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) 17.51% (95% CI: 14.07\u201320.94), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) 54.24% (95% CI: 40.75\u201367.28), and Critical Flicker Frequency (CFF) 27.66% (95% CI: 15.62\u201342.64). The South-East Asia Region exhibited the highest pooled prevalence at 62.32% (95% CI: 56.86\u201367.78), followed by the Western Pacific Region at 37.70% (95% CI: 28.50-46.91), the Region of the Americas at 34.21% (95% CI: 5.68\u201362.74), the Eastern Mediterranean Region at 33.25% (95% CI: 29.91\u201336.71), and the European Region at 24.89% (95% CI: 19.26\u201330.52); 46.98% (95% CI, 27.86\u201366.10) in males and 59.24% (95% CI, 53.20-65.29) in females.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The high prevalence of cognitive impairment among adults with OSA highlights the need for increased attention from public health departments.
