"The National Institutes of Health study followed more than 1,500 adults between ages 30 and 60 for an average of 13.8 years. Those who had sleep-disordered breathing -- another name for apnea -- at the start were two to three times more likely to die from any cause.

Researchers said in a news release that the effect was tied to severity of breathing problems, but was not due to age, obesity or heart health."

Intersting, indeed. I better get my will ready.
