Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined studies from 1985 to 2015 to assess whether alcohol consumption increases the risk of developing sleep apnoea in adults, finding that higher alcohol intake is associated with a 25% increased risk.
  • The analysis, which involved 21 studies, showed that this increased risk is consistent across different study designs and regions, though it was notably higher in Low and Middle Income Countries, and there was some evidence of publication bias.
  • Additionally, people with sleep apnoea tend to consume about two more units of alcohol per week on average, but this difference was not statistically significant, suggesting that reducing alcohol intake could potentially help in preventing or managing sleep apnoea.]
