Description
Dongru Du, Jianjun Luo, Weiling Cai, and six colleagues ask, published in 2024, whether sleep apnea signs track with kidney stones in American survey data. The national survey covered nearly ten thousand adults from 2015 to 2020. About one in nine reported having had a kidney stone. Three apnea signs were self-reported: snoring, snorting or stopped breathing, and daytime sleepiness. After adjusting for other risk factors, plain snoring showed no link to stones. The other two signs did.
People who often snorted or stopped breathing in sleep had about two-thirds higher odds of stones. So did people who often felt sleepy by day. Marriage and smoking status changed the strength of the breathing link. The authors stress the design: one slice in time cannot prove apnea causes stones. Still, the two stronger signs may flag patients worth screening. They call for follow-up studies that watch people over time.
