Sleep, anesthesia, and the upper airway
2007, Seminars in Anesthesia, Perioperative Medicine and PainCitation Excerpt :There are a number of patient and other factors that predispose to sleep apnea either through their effects on morphology or neural control of the upper airway. Patient factors include: age23; male gender24; menopause25; obesity26; increased neck circumference27; macroglossia28; retrognathia29; maxillary constriction30; and nasal congestion.31 These morphological changes may be present to varying degrees in otherwise normal individuals or be part of a disease syndrome, such as acromegaly, Down’s syndrome, or Pierre-Robin syndrome or other syndromes associated with craniofacial abnormality.

2004, Sleep Medicine ReviewsThe extent of the problem of obesity
2002, American Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Another important form of sleep-disordered breathing is obesity-hypoventilation syndrome. Less common but more pathogenic than OSA, it leads through chronic hypoxia and hypercapnia to pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure [21,22]. Asthma has only recently been recognized as an important comorbidity of obesity.
