Does Snoring Intensity Correlate with the Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

摘要

Study Objectives:It is commonly believed that louder snoring is associated with more severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We evaluated the association between snoring intensity and the severity of OSA to better understand this clinical correlation. We also investigated the relationships between body mass index (BMI), neck size, sleep stage, and body position with the intensity of snoring.
