“…Adewole and colleagues estimate a 32% habitual snoring prevalence in a small sample of 370 adults in Nigeria (5). In one of the first studies in a Pakistani population, Hussain and colleagues surveyed 2497 adults and reported an average prevalence of self-reported snoring of 32%, yet in middle age (>35 years of age) prevalence was 46% (6). In a sample of 8583 Japanese adults (35-79 years of age) prevalence rates were 24% for men and 10% for women (7).…”

“…Hussain and colleagues distinguished between habitual and occasional snoring (5.4% versus 26.9%) with the former being defined as "daily" (6). Other studies have defined habitual snoring as 4 "often"; or more than 3, 4 or 5 times per week.…”

“…For instance, patients who attract the UARS label tend to have more medically unexplained, or functional somatic, symptoms. As such, self-reports of daytime 6 sleepiness or fatigue may have little or no association with sleep quality (see 22), casting doubt on the reliability of the ontology of UARS.…”

“…One large (n = 3470) questionnaire based study 13 was done in Pakistan in which Family history of snoring was observed one of significant risk factors (OR 2.9, 2.5-3.5) for OSA symptoms along with age, body mass index, collar size, nasal blockage. OSA is common in patients with craniofacial disorders; however, even in individuals without a specific disorder, alterations in craniofacial structure confer risk for OSA.…”

Context: Central obesity, increased neck circumference are strong established risk factors of OSA. Familial aggregation is less explored potential risk factors. Aims: To compare sleep, metabolic parameters and risk of OSA in subjects with and without history of loud snoring in first degree blood relatives. Settings and Design: Cross-sectional tertiary hospitalbased study Methods and Material: Overweight subjects (body mass index >25 kg/m2 aged 18-65 yrs were selected using systematic random sampling from attendants of patients attending Pulmonary Medicine OPD .On the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria,380 subjects were enrolled, inquired about "Loud Snoring" in their first degree blood relatives and full night study, fasting serum lipid profile, plasma glucose level estimation was carried out after taking informed/written consent. Statistical analysis used: Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20. Student t test was applied for comparing mean values of various variables between two groups. Fisher test was applied for estimation of odd ratio (OR). Results: Neck circumference (p value .01), AHI value (p value .01) and fasting plasma glucose levels (p value .04) were found significantly higher in subjects with positive history of loud snoring in any first degree blood relative . Increased but insignificant risk (P value 0.15) of OSA (defined as AHI<5 ); OR 1.7 (range .8-3.6 with 95% CI) was observed in these subjects when compared on the basis of presence or absence of history of loud snoring in any first degree blood relative . Conclusion: This study gives us a new direction for determining potential role of family history in near relatives in progression and occurrence of OSA in an individual.

“…1 The prevalence of snoring in the general population is estimated to exceed 50%. 2,3 Interest in understanding the mechanism and implications of snoring preceded the advent of polysomnography and the characterization of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). 4 Studies of snoring have often suffered from use of subjective self-report, lack of standardized measurement techniques, and inadequate adjustment for underlying obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).…”
