Stop Snoring-Tips That Work
Can't Sleep-Here's Help
March 1, 2008
By Susan M. Callahan, Associate Editor and Featured Columnist
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.
Most of us snore at some point in our lives, according to the study's
authors. 40% of all men and 24% of women snore, according to
estimates. But the ones at risk are those who snore loudly --true
honkers --typically have interruptions in breathing.
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.
