MICHAEL TWERY: "They found that men can experience up to a three-fold increased risk of stroke, and that risk seemed to be well correlated with the severity of sleep apnea."
MICHAEL TWERY：“研究人员发现，这些睡眠窒息症患者中风的风险提高了三倍。而且这种风险似乎与睡眠窒息症的严重程度紧密相联。”
(1)________________________________The next step will involve sleep apnea patients who have already had a stroke or heart attack. Researchers will study whether patients can reduce the risk of a second one with a machine called a CPAP. CPAP is continuous positive airway pressure. It provides a continuous flow of air into the throat and lungs while the person sleeps.
研究的下一步将涉及已经中风或心脏病发作的睡眠窒息症患者。研究人员将研究CPAP呼吸机是否可以降低这2者的风险。CPAP是指持续气道正压。当病人入睡后，它向病人的喉部和肺部提供持续气流。
Sleep apnea seems to be more common in men than in women, and it becomes more common as people get older. (2)________________________. People who have it are often overweight or have it in their family, but it can affect anyone. In children, for example, enlarged tonsils in the throat can interfere with breathing as they sleep.
睡眠窒息症似乎在男性中更为常见，而且年龄越大越普遍。这类患者通常体重超标，或有家族病史。但这种病会波及任何人。例如在儿童中，扁桃体肿大会在儿童睡眠时阻碍他们的呼吸。
