Do you snore loudly? If you do, you face a higher risk of
dying from stroke and heart disease.
According to a new study of 12, 643 people by Hungarian
scientists, those of us who snore loudly face a 67% higher
risk of death from stroke and a 34% higher risk of death
from heart disease. And if you sleep with someone who
snores, you lose an average of 2 hours sleep a night,
according to some studies.
Most of us snore at some point in our lives, according to
the research team. 40% of all men and 24% of women
snore, according to estimates.

You are at risk, according to the study if you snore loudly.
The highest risk is faced by those who snore so loudly--
true honkers --that you can hear them from another room.
These snorers, also called "heroic snorers", also typically
experience a temporary cessation of breathing while
snoring (sleep apnea).
Researchers speculate that the interruptions in breathing
decrease oxygen flow to the brain which increases risk of
stroke.
Moderate, quiet snorers do not typically have interrupted
breathing and do not face increased risks of stroke and
heart disease.
"Snoring is frequent in the Hungarian adult population, and
loud snoring with breathing pauses, in contrast with quiet
snoring, is associated with an increased risk of
cardiovascular disease and increased health-care
utilization.", stated Dr. Andrei Dunai in the study's
conclusion.
