Snoring is common: 1 in 3 men snore regularly and this percentage increases with age.1
The overall prevalence of snoring amongst adults is 34,6%.1
Snoring can have a disruptive effect on your patients’ lives. They’re often not the first to realise they have a problem: rather, it’s their bed partner who complains.
Both snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) have a common origin: the obstruction of the upper airway caused by the relaxation of muscles in the neck.
