D30 NEW INSIGHTS INTO OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA PATHOGENESIS: Dynamic Upper Airway Characteristics During Awake Respiration In Obese Subjects With And Without Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Differences in these measurements between apneics and controls were examined using linear regression models, both unadjusted and controlling for age, gender, body mass index and race. Apneics had significantly greater airway compliance compared to controls in unadjusted models only. [...]among obese...

Summary:Differences in these measurements between apneics and controls were examined using linear regression models, both unadjusted and controlling for age, gender, body mass index and race. Apneics had significantly greater airway compliance compared to controls in unadjusted models only. [...]among obese patients, airway narrowing may play a more important role than airway compliance in determining OSA risk.
