More than 12,000 people were interviewed in their homes and questioned about snoring. It is estimated that about 40% of adult males and 24% of adult females are habitual snorers. For several years now, scientists have been aware of a relationship between snoring and cardiovascular disease. However a team of Hungarian scientists interviewed 12,000 patients to assess any correlation. The research discovered that compared to the rest of the population, loud snorers had a 34% increased risk of having a heart attack, and a 67% greater chance of suffering a stroke. The researchers say that loud snoring with breathing pauses could be used to help identify people at risk from these diseases. The data also highlighted the fact that people who snore quietly had no increase in their risk of cardiovascular illness.
