Snoring may be a key indicator for future memory loss. That’s the conclusion of a new study published this week in the journal “Neurology.”
Researchers at the NYU Langone Medical Center say people who snore heavily are more likely to develop memory loss and cognitive decline at a younger age.
The study found people with sleep apnea were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment about 10 years earlier than those without the disorder.
Simple screening tests can identify anyone with the problem and help them get treatment.
