Epidemiology and Demographics
Epidemiology and Demographics
Statistics on snoring are often contradictory, but at least 30% of adults and perhaps as many as 50% of people in some demographics snore.[1][2] A survey of 5713 Italian residents identified habitual snoring in 24% of men and 13.8% of women, rising to 60% of men and 40% of women aged 60 to 65 years, suggesting an increased susceptibility to snoring as age increases.[3]
