| Abstract |
Although snoring is a common problem it has received little attention in the medical literature. Therefore, a study was undertaken to determine the prevalence and epidemiologic aspects of snoring. The results showed that it is much more common than previously thought--86% of the married men and 57% of the married women were reported to snore. Overall, snoring was found to be more frequent in adult men than women, and its prevalence in adults was not related to age. It was found that 15% of the husbands and 52% of the wives were bothered by their spouse's snoring. Physicians must be made more aware of this problem and its potential effects on patients. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 April 2018.
All research outputs
#5,189,054
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Canadian Medical Association Journal
#4,107
of 9,453 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#909
of 7,874 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Canadian Medical Association Journal
#1
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,453 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 34.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 7,874 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
