This document discusses snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It notes that OSA is a clinical condition where the upper airway collapses intermittently during sleep. Risk factors include obesity, age, hypertension, and diabetes. Untreated OSA can lead to increased risks of hypertension, heart attack, stroke, and premature death. Diagnosis involves questionnaires, physical examination, and sleep studies. Treatment aims to reduce symptoms and health risks.
