Independent variables: Zrs5, Gz, sGz, Grs, sGrs, R5, X5, X10, X15; Dependent Variable: AHI or HI. Model 1, 2 derived from male subject data by performing stepwise regression analysis; model 3, 4 derived from female subject data; model 5, 6 derived from female subject data with HI as a dependent variable

Abbreviations: BMI body mass index, X5 respiratory system reactance at 5Hz, AHI apnea + hypopnea index, HI hypopnea index, Zrs5 respiratory system impedance at 5Hz (oscillatory frequency), R5 respiratory system resistance at 5 oscillatory frequencies, Grs respiratory conductance, reciprocal of R0 (total respiratory resistance, namely the resistance origin at the point of zero frequency), sGrs the specific Grs (the ratio of Grs to actual value of FRC), Gz reciprocal of Zrs5, sGz the specific Gz (the ratio of Gz to actual value of FRC)
