Abstract

The frequency of snoring was studied in 46 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), 37 with multiinfarct dementia (MID), and in a random sample of 124 elderly community residents without known diseases affecting higher cortical functions. The demented patients were reported to snore twice as frequently as the control subjects (P less than 0.05). No difference in the frequency of snoring was present between the patients with AD and MID. In contrast to younger populations, snoring was not significantly associated with cardiovascular morbidity in this elderly population.

摘要

对46名阿尔茨海默病（AD）患者、37名多发梗死性痴呆（MID）患者以及124名无已知影响高级皮质功能疾病的老年社区居民随机样本进行了打鼾频率研究。据报告，痴呆患者打鼾的频率是对照受试者的两倍（P<0.05）。AD患者和MID患者之间的打鼾频率没有差异。与年轻人群不同，在这个老年人群中，打鼾与心血管疾病发病率没有显著关联。
