Snoring linked to poor health |
|
|
A UK survey by the British Snoring and
Sleep Apnoea Association conducted as part of National Stop Snoring Week (23-27 April),
has revealed that snorers are three times more likely to suffer hypertension,
cardiovascular disease, diabetes and high colesterol than their non-snoring counterparts.
The survey results also suggest that snoring can be hereditary, with nearly 70 per cent of
snorers in the study demostrating a biological link.
