Mild sleep disordered breathing, including habitual snoring, is a very common problem in the adult population, with a prevalence of between 20-40%. Increasingly it is now recognised that habitual snoring may be an independent risk factor for the development of stroke. In this proposal we will explore the hypothesis that treatment for snoring will slow or stop the development of carotid artery atherosclerosis.

轻度睡眠呼吸障碍，包括习惯性打鼾，是成年人中非常常见的问题，患病率在20-40%之间。现在越来越多的人认识到，习惯性打鼾可能是中风发展的一个独立风险因素。在这个提议中，我们将探讨治疗打鼾会减缓或阻止颈动脉粥样硬化发展的假设。
