The prevalence of @entity27 ( @entity27 ) defined at an @entity27 index (AHI) >= 5 was a mean of 22% (range, 9-37%) in @entity1 and 17% (range, 4-50%) in @entity1 in eleven published epidemiological studies published between 1993 and 2013. @entity27 with excessive @entity25 occurred in 6% (range, 3-18%) of @entity1 and in 4% (range, 1-17%) of @entity1 . The prevalence increased with time and @entity27 was reported in 37% of @entity1 and in 50% of @entity1 in studies from 2008 and 2013 respectively. @entity27 is more prevalent in @entity1 than in @entity1 and increases with age and @entity28 . Smoking and @entity285 consumption are also suggested as risk factors, but the results are conflicting. Excessive @entity25 is suggested as the most important symptom of @entity27 , but only a fraction of subjects with AHI >5 report @entity25 and one study did not find any relationship between @entity25 and @entity387 in @entity1 . @entity64 and @entity101 and @entity453 are associated with @entity387 . Cross-sectional studies indicate an association between @entity27 and @entity6 . @entity1 younger than 70 years run an increased risk of @entity204 if they suffer from @entity27 . It is concluded that @entity27 is highly prevalent in the population. It is related to age and @entity28 . Only a part of subjects with @entity27 in the population have symptoms of @entity25 . The prevalence of @entity27 has increased in epidemiological studies over time. Differences and the increase in prevalence of @entity387 are probably due to different diagnostic equipment, definitions, study design and characteristics of included subjects including effects of the @entity28 epidemic. @entity65 , especially @entity64 is related to @entity27 , and subjects under the age of 70 run an increased risk of @entity204 if they suffer from @entity27 .
