Background:

Cerebral infarction, a type of stroke, poses a significant health burden.
Snoring is a common symptom, but its association with cerebral infarction requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the association between snoring and the risk of cerebral infarction in male patients.

Main Methods:

A case-control study was conducted.
The study included 50 male patients diagnosed with cerebral infarction and 100 male patients with other disorders.
Data on snoring frequency, age, and body mass index were collected and analyzed.

Main Results:

Habitual snoring (almost always or always) was significantly associated with cerebral infarction, showing a risk ratio of 10.3.

Related Experiment Videos

Snoring often, almost always, or always also demonstrated a significant association (risk ratio 2.8) compared to occasional or no snoring.

The association remained significant after accounting for age and body mass index.

Conclusions:

Habitual snoring is a significant risk factor for cerebral infarction.
Snoring frequency is directly correlated with the risk of developing cerebral infarction.
These findings underscore the importance of addressing snoring in stroke prevention strategies.
