Genetic factors in self-reported snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness: a twin study.

American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine - 15 Sept 2001

Carmelli D, Bliwise D L, Swan G E, Reed T

Abstract excerpt

Subjects in this study included 1,560 intact male-male twin pairs (818 monozygotic [MZ], 742 dizygotic [DZ]) of mean age (+/- SD) 74.2 +/- 2.8 yr. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) was used to assess daytime sleepiness and standardized questionnaires assessed snoring. Multivariate genetic model fitting was used to estimate the contribution of genetic and nongenetic (environmental) influences to the variation and...
