Why do some people snore?

Filed in archive Studies by kevin on August 12, 2005

The shape of the throat has a lot to do with why some people snore:

By carrying out head and neck scans of snorers and non-snorers, the Slovenia team found it was down to the shape of the throat.

Snorers have narrower throats and the smaller the opening is, the louder the snore.

Contrary to popular opinion, nasal blockages do not cause snoring though they may "amplify the loudness", the researchers told Chest journal.
