The publication of the American Thoracic Society said that doctors have long known that snoring is a sign of damage to health, as well as nights of poor sleep and sleep days.

If it is not always clear what the connection between the TRD and a particular health problem, new research exposes at least one factor that could explain the increased risk of cardiovascular problems that still affects some people who snore.

Reena Mehra, assistant professor in the School of Medicine Case Western Reserve in Cleveland (Ohio) investigated the levels in the morning and evening for three markers that anticipate the problems of thrombosis, in relation to the intensity of the TRD in 537 subjects.

After adjusting for variables including body mass index, age and sex, they found that a relationship exists between increases in disordered breathing during sleep and markers of cardiovascular problems.

“Our data indicate that even individuals with modest levels of TRD (which describes a large proportion of the adult population), could have a pro-thrombotic biochemical profile and this brings a higher risk of cardiovascular disease,” said Mehra.
