Contrast between control and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) groups on a subset without differences either on age (≤46) or on body mass index (≤30) on the male population.

| Cervicomental contour ratio | 0.6 (0.07) | 0.6 (0.1) | .02a | |
| Face-width ratio | 1.4 (0.06) | 1.5 (0.05) | .23 | |
| Tragion-ramus-stomion (TRG) angle | 116.2 (6.8) | 115.7 (5.6) | .73 | |
aThere are significant differences between OSA groups at the .05 level.
