These model-based estimates are from a logistic regression model as described in the Methods without any adjustment for BMI. All age groups span 5 y except the first (3 y) and last (30 y). e-POSA, exclusive supine positional obstructive sleep apnea; OSA, obstructive sleep apnea; M, male; F, female
aP value adjusted for multiple testing using Benjamini-Hochberg procedure to control the false discovery rate
