“…Our study showed that 50% patients with severe OSA belonged to the obese category however no significant correlation was observed between AHI and BMI. This is in accordance with the study done by Venkateswaran et al 16 who also showed that BMI did not correlate with degree of AHI. However on the contrary, studies done by Peppard PE et al 17 and others.…”
