AB  - Studies regarding the association between snoring and metabolic abnormalities 
      have been inconsistent. We examine whether snoring frequency and obstructive 
      sleep apnea markers are associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) among Koreans 
      aged 40-69 years. A total of 72,885 subjects (24,856 men, 48,029 women) from the 
      Health Examinees Gem study between 2009 and 2013 were included. Snoring frequency 
      was grouped into five categories (never, 1-3/month, 1-3/week, 4-5/week, 6+/week). 
      Obstructive sleep apnea markers included breathing interruptions and awakenings. 
      Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated 
      through logistic regression. Compared with non-snorers, those who snore 6+/week 
      were associated with increased odds for MetS (OR: 2.07, 95% CI: 1.91-2.25, 
      p-trend < 0.0001 among men; OR: 1.45, CI: 1.33-1.58, p-trend < 0.0001 among 
      women). Snoring frequency is associated with MetS and its components in both men 
      and women. Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea markers are important indicators 
      of sleep quality, which may facilitate early detection of sleep disorders and 
      further complications such as MetS.
