As a group, people with OSA had significantly higher morbidity, mortality, health costs, transfer incomes, and sickness benefits, whereas their educational level and professional affiliation were lower, and patients retired earlier than their corresponding controls. These patterns could be identified as much as 15 years before diagnosis, with changes becoming more pronounced after diagnosis and management. There was a significant gender difference, whereby women had higher morbidity and mortality rates and social welfare social costs than men in all domains, before and after diagnosis. The total case patient net costs for men\/women were 4217\/8259 \u20ac\/year before diagnosis and 8749\/13 730 \u20ac\/year after diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>OSA is associated with a significant welfare costs (morbidity, mortality, healthcare cost, social impact). These effects are present years before diagnosis and increase thereafter. There are significant gender differences, whereby women tend to experience a significantly higher health and welfare costs than men before and after diagnosis.
