Screening for roncopathy of population from central regions of RM

Abstract

Introduction: The well known fact is that healthy dream is the necessary component of human emotional part. The dream’s quality is influenced by the number of reasons, of which the most important is derangement of passing of air flow threw the narrowed respiratory airways which leads to the phenomenon called “Roncopathy”. The problem of this phenomenon and the association with it of sleep apnea remains an actual problem not only at otorhinolaryngology domain, and has a lot of consequences which influence the everyday life quality, needs the involvement of specialists from almost all domains as: surgeons, sexologists, etc. A small number of scientific researches are dedicated to this problem, which involves a reduced number of populations and doesn’t reflect the entire seriousness of this problem. A number of screenings concerning roncopathy have been already done in EU and USA and special associations were founded. Such organization doesn’t exist in the RM, only tendency to highlight the seriousness of this problem threw the screening that was performed in 2008 by Olaru A. and associate professor Gagauz A. That is why we decided to tackle deeper this pathology, which isn’t seen as a problem; and to observe how well the members of society know themselves threw screening of population from central regions of RM , performed in period October 2013-February 2014. Materials and methods: during this screening 2010 persons were questioned, between 17-78 years old. We record a questionnaire with 34 questions, and used centimeter band. Results: The number of those who snores is continuously decreasing with age. The highest incidence of roncopathy is between 46-65 years old. The highest incidence of sleep apnea is between 61-65 years old. The oldest man who doesn’t snore is 72 years old. From the totally number of whose who snore the highest incidence is among drivers. The majority of women snore lying on the back. Usually people snore in 1 or 3 positions, and rarely in 2. All people who snores 68,97% have increased BM1. The majority of women and men snore from 6 to 10 years.39,8% from affected people are smoking, among them 12,19%.42,71 % from those who snores eat a lot before going to bed, among them women 31,81%. Men more frequently supported cranial trauma(18,44%).83,8% from all patients with sleep apnea are men. Urban men snore more frequently. The incidence of high blood pressure is 35,92% and is almost the same between male and female. Conclusion: We investigate the roncopathy as a social problem in RM, with more persons and criteria. The most affected are whose BMI is increased, with otorhinolaryngologycal pathology and male gender.
