Snoring found to lead to bronchitis
研究发现打鼾导致支气管炎
CHICAGO (Reuters) - People who snore are more likely to develop chronic bronchitis, the hacking cough most often associated with cigarette smoking or breathing polluted air, Korean researchers reported on Monday.
芝加哥(路透社报道) -韩国的研究人员周一称,打鼾更可能发展为慢性支气管炎,后者为干咳,常由于吸烟或呼吸污染的空气引起。
Why snoring might lead to bronchitis is not clear, said a team led by Inkyung Baik of Korea University Ansan Hospital in South Korea.
以韩国大学Ansan医院Inkyung Baik为首的研究小组称,他们还不明确为什么打鼾可能导致支气管炎。
The report, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, covered 4,270 men and women between 2001 and 2006. Of the group, 314 came down with chronic bronchitis.
该研究发表在《内科医学档案》,纳入了2001年至2006年的4270例男性和女性,其中 314例发生慢性支气管炎。
\"We collected information on snoring at baseline and identified incident cases of chronic bronchitis during a four-year follow-up period,\" Baik's team wrote.
Baik的研究小组写道,\"我们收集了打鼾的基线资料,并确定在4年的随访期中发生慢性支气管炎的病例”
After taking into account whether those in the study smoked or were otherwise at risk for bronchitis, the investigators concluded that people who snored five nights a week or less were 25 percent more likely to develop bronchitis than those who never snored.
在考虑了被调查者是否吸烟及存在其他发生支气管炎的危险因素后,调查人员得出结论,每周打鼾五晚或以下者,较从不打鼾者发生支气管炎的可能性增加25% 。
The risk was 68 percent higher for those who snored six to seven times a week.
每周打鼾六至七晚者,风险增高68%。
\"Our findings provide support for the hypothesis that snoring is associated with chronic bronchitis,\" the researchers wrote.
研究人员称\"我们的研究结果支持打鼾与慢性支气管炎有关的假设。\"
It could be that snoring vibrates the upper airways, stressing them and leading to inflammation, the researchers said.
这可能是因为打鼾震动上呼吸道,使其处于应激状态并导致炎症反应,研究人员说。
