Study: Old, Fat Women Snore

(Stockholm) A team of researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden led by Dr. Malin Svensson conducted a study of nearly 7,000 women to determine risk factors for snoring. According to the results reported in the Sydney Morning Herald, snoring is most common among old, fat women.

Since snoring has been linked to other health problems, the value of this research seems clear, however, there's no explanation of why women only were studied. I'd guess that old, fat men are snorers also.
