Lee SK, et al. - In a large cohort of Korean adults, researchers investigated the independent relationship between self-reported snoring and hypertension occurrence by gender and age groups. Participants in this 14-year follow-up study were 4,954 adults, aged 40–69?years, free of hypertension at baseline. No significant association was found between snoring and hypertension incidence in any age group in women. Results of this study revealed that, only in men aged ≤ 45?years, habitual snoring significantly was linked with a 1.5 times higher risk for incident hypertension vs never snoring, which has important clinical implications for early detection and treatment of snoring to lessen the burden of cardiovascular disease.
