The ravages of diabetes on blood vessels is well-documented.

But now, researchers are finding that people who suffer from sleep apnea and chronic snoring are showing an almost identical severity of damage to arteries as what you’d find in people with diabetes.

Researchers in Romania looking at Obstructive Sleep Apnea, or OSA, looked at three groups of adults: those with type 2 diabetes, those with OSA, and those with no documented disease or chronic conditions (“healthy” control group).

What they observed is that the amount of arterial damage seen between the OSA group and the type 2 diabetes group was nearly a mirror image.

Using ultrasound technology, the scientists were able to discern artery size and integrity in the different groups in various areas throughout the body.

They studied artery function and stiffness, two indicators of arterial health, to determine the extent of the damage seen in the different groups.

The study helps cardiologists further understand how snoring and sleep apnea directly cause hypertension and cardiovascular disease. It is also useful for primary care physicians and sleep disorder specialists in helping their patients take the condition seriously and to follow treatment plans more reliably.
