Men who snore ‘are twice as likely to die early’

The U.S. researchers, from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, concluded men who snore loudly may have a shorter life expectancy than those who sleep quietly.

Heart seems to be the most common disease among those who died, the journal PLoS Medicine reports.

The link was only apparent with middle-aged men, but the researchers said further studies might find it also applied to women and to older men.
