Most of the Americans are suffering the sleep apnea syndrome, which is robbing their sleep and rest. They are getting devoid from a peaceful life. Over the decades, this disorder is getting common in America and 1520 people who are white are reported to get into an obesity problem due to sleep apnea. It was found in Wisconsin. An author by the name Paul Peppard found out in a survey, a major point of focus which arose among 55% of the people of the United States of America.
According to the survey, obesity might have caused sleep apnea among four to five million people in America. Being an associate professor in population health science in Wisconsin-Madison University, Peppard found obesity as one of the major disorder. A sleep theory was organized to check the levels of sleeping in 30 years aged people till 70 years aged people. This kind of monitoring test was conducted among hundred to seven hundred people in 1988 to 1994, these people and some more even added in the test held between2007 and 2010.
The participants who took part in the tests had breathing problems during sleep, which were moderate and severe in origin. The troubles in breathing fifteen times or more than that crop up, then the person is suffering from sleeping disorder. Having breathing problems accompanied with snoring sensation is caused due to sleep apnea. People suffering from such disorder get trouble while sleeping because their throats choke and their airways get blocked. This results in breathing problems with them and makes them getting sleepy in their day to day activities.
Apart from sleepiness, sleep apnea can contribute to heart problems. Other health related issues also crop up due to the disorder. The risk gets increased due to it leading to mood swings in work and accidents in life. This study was brought by the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. The researchers generalized the findings and were able to scrutinize that in the United States 30 and above aged men are likely to have sleeping disorder. 10% of these men suffer from this kind of problems and seventeen percent of men fifty and more years old. 9% of Women of thirty years old and more have the signs. The fat people had the signs than the lean and thin ones.
Studies says that there is an increase in the numbers like from fourteen to fifty five percent from the year 1988 to 1994 and from 2007 to 2010. Peppered researched and calculated that eighty to ninety percent rise is because of the cause of people suffering with obesity.
Peppered throw light on the fact that obesity has a major role in causing the sleeping disorder. Various factors like, being male, other hormonal tendencies, obesity, getting older and so on are some of the issues that cause the disorder. But treatments are there like the CPAP treatment or the continuous positive airway pressure treatment.But the fact that sleep apnea can contribute to heart problems is a known fact and also should be treated as soon as possible to lead a healthy life.
