That is severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and with that serious interruption to sleep quality also comes a doubling in the risk of future heart disease, particularly stroke 6. For example, people with type 2 diabetes are 10 times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease than those who do not have diabetes 10.

They get the diseases of ageing about 20 to 25 years later than everyone else. It’s not that they don’t get cardiovascular disease, cancer or dementia; they just get it way later than everyone else. Most adults, healthy centenarians included, will die from one of three things: Cardiovascular Disease.

Cardiovascular disease, cancer and dementia account for 60% of all deaths in the US. For those in the ‘Ideal’ category, they were 51% less likely to have either dementia or depression. In most developed countries as of today, NCDs account for 89% of all deaths. The leading causes of death are clear.
