Primary snoring
Breathing40% of men, 24% of womenSnoring on its own is a social problem rather than a dangerous medical one — but it sits on the same anatomical spectrum as apnea, and the two cannot be reliably distinguished by sound alone. Roughly one in four habitual snorers turns out to have obstructive apnea underneath.
One recorded night separates simple snoring from sleep apnea. Snoring loudness alone tells you very little about clinical risk.
