Measurements in millimeters unless otherwise noted, Meandiff: APC-control. Italicized and bold values show changes in significant and trending results when controlling for age and/or BMI group differences. Measurements highlighted in blue were found to be significantly different in all 12 PCs.

p < 0.05 and

**

p < 0.002. Sleep apnea results could not be controlled for group differences in age or BMI due to small sample sizes.
