Severe mustaches can run a higher risk of one of the deadliest cancer in Britain, Shock has suggested new research.
It is already known that patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), who often cause problems snoring, is more likely to develop cancer.
Now one of the world’s first examinations that explore the condition and lung cancer has specifically found a ‘significant’ link between the two.
American researchers, who assessed the health files of more than 2.4 million adults, said they cannot be sure why the common sleep disorder increases this risk.
But they believe that it can be due to the lack of oxygen that people get during the night – or lifestyle factors, including smoking and even obesity.
Scientists presented the findings at the American Society or Clinical Oncology conference in Chicago and urged policy makers to consider screening the disease for the disease and asked to tackle sleep apnea early after a diagnosis.
Osa, which affects nearly a billion people worldwide, ensures that the walls of the throat relax and a few seconds during sleep are relaxed and close.
These triggers breathing breaks and loud snoring.

Symptoms of lung cancer are often not noticeable until the cancer has spread through the lungs, to other parts of the body
It is estimated to be a maximum of 3.9 million people in the UK moderate or serious OSA, although it is considered to influence a maximum of 10 million under diagnosed under 10 million.
Not all mustaches have sleep apnea, but the two often go hand in hand, and the louder the snoring, the greater the opportunities to have it.
Researchers from Marshall University followed in the study in West Virginia, diagnoses of lung cancer who separate those who separated the diagnosis of OSA and those without.
After the accounting for factors that could crash the results, such as age and other diagnosed health problems, they discovered that OSA patients were 1.21 times more likely to develop lung cancer compared to those without OSA.
Dr. Jowan Al-Nusair, Co-author and Arts study at Marshall University, told MailOnline that it was ‘one of the first statistically significant studies’ to prove a connection between the condition and lung cancer.
‘Although further studies are certainly needed to investigate how the significant link really is, this suggests that OSA can be a risk factor for lung cancer.
“We should follow patients with OSA more closely. Patients would certainly benefit from screening and early intervention to combat OSA.
‘Additional studies are essential to understand exactly why OSA can increase this risk.
Lack of sleep can lead to obesity, memory loss, diabetes, heart disease, increased and unstable emotions, reduced learning capacity and reduced immune response, making you vulnerable to diseases
“We really hope that this will pave the way for future research and testing.”
Lung cancer Strictly about 50,000 people in the UK and 230,000 in the US every year.
It is the world’s largest cancer killer. It is notorously difficult to diagnose and often appears later when it is more difficult to treat.
Figures show that it kills four out of five patients within five years. Less than 10 percent of people survive their illness for a decade or more.
Despite the progress, a difference between genera is on the rise, in which women between 35 and 54 are diagnosed with lung cancer with higher percentages than men in the same age group.
Science has long established that smoking causes definitive lung cancer and is the primary risk factor for the disease.
But the number of lung cancer now also increases with young, otherwise healthy people who have never smoked.
Today in ASCO on a panel about the treatment of early starting cancers, some of the world’s top experts suggested to give air pollution to contaminating substances such as caramps-secondary smoke, bad diets, lack of exercise and even exposure to certain chemicals such as pesticides, guilt.
Lung cancer, they said, should not be seen as ‘the disease of an old person’ – as was seen earlier.
It comes as a study of the Sleep Charity last year, discovered that nine in ten people experience a sort of sleeping problem.
Poor sleep is linked to a number of health problems, including cancer, stroke and infertility.
Experts have long advised that waking up does not necessarily mean that you have insomnia, which suggest figures influences a maximum of 14 million British.
Nevertheless, lack of sleep takes its own toll, of irritability and reduced focus in the short term, to an increased risk of obesity, heart conditions and diabetes.
According to the American Sleep Association, almost 70 million Americans also have a sleep disorder.
