Not true. I know very fit, very skinny triathletes who have sleep apnea.
replyI have a visible six pack at rest but have it.
replyOh not this nonsense again. Plenty of "wafer thin" people have obstructive sleep apnea. There are lots of factors that contribute to sleep apnea, from big tonsils to hormones to muscle tone to tongue size. Weight is not the issue.
replySkinny person with OSA here and three corrective jaw surgeries from world-expert sleep surgeons. You won't believe how many GPs told me to my face that it was impossible for me to have sleep apnea because I'm thin. Then the sleep study results came in with 30 AHI (severe range).
replyWould you say the jaw surgeries were worth it? Do you still use a CPAP?
