This study has confirmed male gender, obesity, and weight gain as key determinants of habitual snoring, and has indicated that development of asthma and taking up smoking also play a role.
Abstract
This study has confirmed male gender, obesity, and weight gain as key determinants of habitual snoring, and has indicated that development of asthma and taking up smoking also play a role. Maintaining a healthy weight and not smoking are recommended lifestyle preventive strategies to reduce the risk of sleep-disordered breathing and its sequelae.

The prevalence of undiagnosed sleep-disordered breathing is high among men and is much higher than previously suspected among women, and is associated with daytime hypersomnolence.

Evidence from methodologically strong cohort studies indicates that undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea, with or without symptoms, is independently associated with increased likelihood of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, daytime sleepiness, motor vehicle accidents, and diminished quality of life.

The data indicate that clinical and public health programs that result in even modest weight control are likely to be effective in managing SDB and reducing new occurrence of SDB.

Continuous positive airway pressure, the treatment of choice for obstructive sleep apnoea, reduces sleepiness and improves hypertension.

642 Citations1991John Stradling, J Crosby
It is shown that snoring in this randomly selected population correlates best with neck size, smoking, and nasal stuffiness, and less so with age and general obesity.

540 Citations2005Anne B. Newman, Greg Foster +4 more
Model changes in weight were related to an increase or decrease in SDB, and this association was stronger in men than in women.

The 5-year incidence of sleep-disordered breathing overall and as influenced by risk factors is 7.5% for moderately severe SDB and 16% for mild to moderately severeSDB, and by age 50 years, incidence rates among men and women are similar.

It is proposed that the effect of smoking may be related to the production of upper airway inflammation and edema by cigarette smoke, and that smoking cessation may eventually reduce snoring risk.
CHEST JournalGender Differences in Sleep Apnea
188 Citations2003David R. Dancey, Patrick J. Hanly +4 more
The frequency and severity of sleep apnea in the sleep clinic population is greater in men than women, and factors other than NC, age, and BMI must contribute to these gender differences.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care MedicineThe Influence of Active and Passive Smoking on Habitual Snoring
136 Citations2004Karl A. Franklin, Þórarinn Gíslason +10 more
Active smoking and passive smoking were related to snoring, independent of obesity, sex, center, and age, and smoking, both current and ex-smoking, is a major contributor to habitual snoring in the general population.
Respiratory MedicineSymptoms related to obstructive sleep apnoea are common in subjects with asthma, chronic bronchitis and rhinitis in a general population
132 Citations2001Lars‐Gunnar Larsson, Anne Lindberg +2 more
Symptoms of daytime sleepiness and respiratory symptoms and conditions affecting mainly the lower respiratory tract, such as chronic bronchitis and asthma, were related with symptoms common in obstructive sleep apnoea.
SLEEPPredictors of Longitudinal Change in Sleep-Disordered Breathing in a Nonclinic Population
116 Citations2003Susan Redline, Mark Schluchter +2 more
Longitudinal change in the RDI varies nonuniformly with age, sex, and weight, and older heavier men may experience the highest rate of increase in RDI over time and, thus, may benefit most from prospective monitoring.

73 Citations2005Aydanur Ekici, Mehmet Ekici +5 more
Present data suggest that there is a link between the sleep-related breathing disorders and asthma-related symptoms and the presence of snoring and observed apnea in individuals with asthma- related symptoms causes further impairment in HRQL.

Logistic regression showed that snoring was independently associated with age, body mass index and smoking habits, and an exposure-effect relationship clearly appeared between tobacco consumption and snoring.

It was found that age over 65 years, the absence of obesity, and the presence or absence of respiratory symptoms were associated with remission of habitual snoring, and male sex, Obesity, and respiratory Symptoms were significant independent risk factors for development of habitual Snoring.
