Large-scale study finds greater sedentary hours increases risk of obstructive sleep apnea

 E-Mail A new study by investigators from Brigham and Women s Hospital examined the relationship between active lifestyles and the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The study followed around 130,000 men and women in the United States over a follow-up period of 10-to-18 years and found that higher levels of physical activity and lower levels of sedentary behavior were associated with a lower risk of OSA. Their results are published in the In our study, higher levels of physical activity and fewer hours of TV watching, and sitting either at work or away from home were associated with lower OSA incidence after accounting for potential confounders, said Tianyi Huang, MSc, ScD, an Associate Epidemiologist at the Brigham. Our results suggest that promoting an active lifestyle may have substantial benefits for both prevention and treatment of OSA.

Health: People who spend more than four hours a day watching TV are 78% more likely to snore

Spending more than four hours a day sitting in front of the TV increases your risk of obstructive sleep apnoea and resulting snoring by 78 per cent, a study found. Researchers with the Harvard Medical School monitored the health and physical activity levels of some 138,000 people for 10–18 years. They found that increased levels of sedentary behaviour and corresponding low levels of physical activity increased the risk of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). People who spend all day sitting down, such as in office jobs, should compensate by getting more exercise during their leisure time, the researchers recommended. Sleep apnoea is a condition in which one s airways can become completely blocked at night, interrupting normal breathing and leading to snoring and disrupted sleep.
