Abstract :
Snoring is noise generated from upper airway due to partial upper airway obstruction. Snoring affects at least 40% of men and 20% of women and is a significant sleep disorder. Depending on intensity of snoring sounds and frequency of snoring as experienced by partners, snorers are occasional, habitual, alcohol associated or heroic snorers.
Snoring is associated with drug resistant hypertension1, diabetes, Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome [OSA], heart failure, obesity, night time heart attacks and coronary artery disease. Most of our study population attributes snoring to a good night’s sleep and hence most people don’t seek medical help unless ought in by their partners.
The problems associated with snoring and sleep disordered eathing, causative factors, methods of prevention, population education and the management modalities available have been undermined so far in the population under study and hence an effort is made to compute some data with available resources.
