According to a research conducted on 195 Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans with PTSD, about 69% of veterans with PTSD are at a high risk for sleep apnea, which is a sleep disorder causing a person to repeatedly stop and start breathing.

Can you provide a citation for the source of the research? Otherwise the data is useless.
