laboratoryequipment: Snoring Does Not Increase Risk of Death, Heart DiseaseA group of Australian researchers have achieved a world-first to demonstrate that objectively measured snoring, without more serious sleep apnea, does not increase mortality or cardiovascular disease.Previous work from the group had found that sleep apnea increases mortality risk but until now it had not been clear whether snoring by itself might also increase cardiovascular disease. The study conducted by the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research found that those who snored most of the night had no greater risk of death over the next 17 years than people who snored only 12 percent or less of the night or not at all.Read more: http://www.laboratoryequipment.com/news/2012/09/snoring-does-not-increase-risk-death-heart-disease
