Habitual snoring is strongly linked to higher body mass index (BMI) and increased risk of hypertension, especially in middle-aged men. The impact of snoring on hypertension prevalence varies significantly across different age groups.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Health
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Systemic hypertension and snoring are common health issues.
  • Overweight is a known risk factor for hypertension.
  • The relationship between snoring, overweight, and hypertension requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate the prevalence of snoring, overweight, and systemic hypertension in Swedish men.
  • To investigate the association between habitual snoring, body mass index (BMI), age, and hypertension.
  • To analyze how habitual snoring influences hypertension prevalence across different age groups.

Main Methods:

  • A random sample of 4,064 Swedish men aged 30-69 years was surveyed.
  • Data collected included self-reported snoring, weight, height (for BMI calculation), and hypertension status.

  • Logistic multiple regression analyses were employed to assess relationships between variables.

    • Main Results:

    • 15.5% reported habitual snoring and 29.6% occasional snoring.
    • Habitual snoring was significantly associated with higher BMI (p < 0.0001) but not age.
    • Hypertension prevalence was higher in habitual snorers (21.5%) and overweight individuals.

    Conclusions:

    • Habitual snoring is primarily linked to BMI, not age, in this population.
    • Habitual snoring can increase the predicted prevalence of hypertension, particularly in middle-aged men (40-49 years).
    • The contribution of habitual snoring to hypertension prevalence is age-dependent, highlighting the need for age-specific considerations.
