LONDON, Aug 12 ― A sedentary lifestyle and spending time in front of the TV increases the risk of sleep apnea, according to a recently published study. To remedy this, researchers advise regular physical activity and spending less time in front of a screen.
Sleep apnea is “when your breathing is interrupted during sleep for at least 10 seconds at a time and around five times per hour,” according to UC Health. Severe obstructive sleep apnea means having 30 such episodes per hour, while mild cases may have five. French statistics suggest that sleep apnea affects 7.9 per cent of people aged 20 to 44, 19.7 per cent of those aged 45-64 and 30.5 per cent of those over 65.
The researchers particularly focused on data regarding physical activity, screens and the presence of sleep apnea.
