The Influence of Obesity on Different Genders in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Figure 1
The trends of AHI, arousal index, mean saturation, and lowest saturation in both male and female patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). As the BMI increased, the AHI and arousal index increased significantly, while the mean saturation and lowest saturation decreased significantly in both genders. These trends were significantly predominant in the male patients.
