Being Overweight Super-Sizes Both Risk And Consequences Of Sleep-Disordered Breathing

Suffocation from stuffocation.

"Overweight individuals are not just at greater risk of having sleep-disordered-breathing (SDB), they are also likely to suffer greater consequences, according to new research.

According to the study, to be published in the October 15 issue of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, an official publication of the American Thoracic Society, excess weight increased the severity of oxygen desaturation in the blood of individuals with SDB during and after apneas and hypopneas."

A new way to choke on food.

Kudos, fatsos.
