These model-based estimates are from a negative binomial generalized linear mixed-effects model as described in the Methods without any adjustment for BMI (body mass index). All age groups span 5 y except the first (3 y) and last (30 y). AHI, apnea-hypopnea index. M, male; F, female

^aP value adjusted for multiple testing using Benjamini-Hochberg procedure to control the false discovery rate
