Is There a Relationship Between Snoring Sound Intensity and Frequency and OSAS Severity?

“…1 As this kind of cohort study with large population groups is not carried out in Turkey, we can only estimate the percentage of SDB is approximately 3% to 12% from various epidemiological studies. 2,3 The prevalence of SDB ranges from 4% to 7% around the world depending on the country and risk factors such as age, sex, obesity, family history, craniofacial abnormalities, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and so on. 4 Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is the most common form of such disorder, characterized by the repetitive complete and/or partial collapse of the airway while sleeping and the arousal of the patient to restore ventilation.…”
