Answer 1

wow i dont

Answer 2

Frequency

United States

OSAHS is a common disease in the United States. The prevalence of OSAHS, as indicated by data from the Wisconsin Cohort Study (adults aged 30-60 y), is 9-24% for men and 4-9% for women. The estimated prevalence of OSAHS is 2% in women and 4% in men. Similar data have been reported from an epidemiologic study from Pennsylvania.10

International

The prevalence of OSAHS in non-US populations has only been studied in men and has been found to be as low as 0.3% in England. It is as high as 20-25% in Israel and Australia; the prevalence of OSAHS in Australian men was estimated to be 3%.

from - www.emedicine.com/neuro/TOPIC419.HTM

(But I think these data are grossly underestimating the prevalence)

Answer 3

I could only find a number for Sleep Apnea & Restless Leg Syndrom (RLS):

Sleep apnea is very common, as common as adult diabetes, and affects more than twelve million Americans, according to the National Institutes of Health.

-http://www.sleepapnea.org/info/index.htm...

nearly 10% of the population have RLS
