Values are means ± SE. Anthropometric characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients (n = 7) and non-OSA controls (n = 8). Body mass index (BMI), percent predicted forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), percent predicted forced vital capacity (FVC), and total sleep apnea hypopnea index (AHI).
