Note:—SEM indicates standard error of the mean.

a

The slope indicates the average change in the measure for a 1 cm H2O change in opening pressure. The Pearson correlation coefficient reflects the correlation between the measure and opening pressure.

b

Comparing 50 years and older with younger than 30 years (P = .01), 30–39 years (P = .09), and 40–49 years (P = .08).
