As an AI language model, I don’t have real-time data, but I can provide you with some statistics on snoring and sleep apnea in Australia based on information available up until my last knowledge update in September 2021.
- Snoring:
- Snoring is a common sleep-related problem that affects a significant portion of the population.
- It is estimated that about 30% to 40% of adults snore regularly.
- Men are more likely to snore than women, and the prevalence increases with age.
- Snoring can be disruptive not only to the snorer but also to their sleep partners, leading to disturbed sleep and relationship problems.
- Sleep Apnea:
- Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by interruptions in breathing during sleep.
- The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep.
- The prevalence of sleep apnea varies depending on the population studied and the diagnostic criteria used.
- It is estimated that approximately 9% to 25% of middle-aged adults in Australia have sleep apnea.
- Men are more commonly affected by sleep apnea than women, although the gender gap narrows after menopause.
- Obesity, age, and certain anatomical factors, such as a large neck circumference or narrow airway, are associated with an increased risk of sleep apnea.
It’s important to note that these statistics may have changed since my last update. For the most up-to-date and accurate information, I recommend consulting reputable sources such as government health agencies, sleep disorder organizations, or recent studies conducted on sleep-related issues in Australia.
