To determine whether undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or excessive daytime sleepiness are associated with symptomatic depression in Australian men. ⋯ Depressive symptoms in men were associated with undiagnosed OSA in the community.

Screening for depression should also be considered in men with excessive daytime sleepiness regardless of OSA severity.
