Snoring severity is associated with carotid vascular remodeling in young adults with overweight and obesity

Snoring is often used as a surrogate measure for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a sleep disorder associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Whether snoring is linked to CVD independent of OSA remains unclear. We aimed to explore the snoring and subclinical CVD association in adults with and...

Zusammenfassung:Snoring is often used as a surrogate measure for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a sleep disorder associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Whether snoring is linked to CVD independent of OSA remains unclear. We aimed to explore the snoring and subclinical CVD association in adults with and without OSA. We conducted a cross-sectional study in 122 overweight/obese participants (24% male; mean age 40.1 years) attending the 24-month follow-up visit of a lifestyle intervention. Using home-based objective measures of sleep-disordered breathing, we stratified participants into 3 snoring/OSA categories using the snoring index (SI), a measure of snoring vibration, and oxygen desaturation index (ODI): (1) OSA (ODI ≥ 5), (2) non-OSA heavy snorer (ODI
