Upper Airway Fat Tissue Distribution in Subjects With Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Its Effect on Retropalatal Mechanical Loads

To validate the hypothesis that fat tissue accumulation adjacent to the upper airway contributes to a predisposition to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), irrespective of body mass index (BMI), as well as investigate the effect of the volume of fat tissue on pharyngeal mechanical loads. Fourteen subject...
