Median AHI progressively increased from 1992-1995 to 2004-2007 (from 65 events/h to 143 events/h, P < 0001), indicating increasing disease severity. Over the same period, for every unit increase in BMI, AHI increased by 5 5 events/h for men and by 2 8 events/h for women. About 80% of the observed variance in AHI over this period was attributable to variance in BMI. Conclusion: There is a continuing trend towards increasing body weight and BMI in people undergoing diagnostic sleep studies. Our data do not support the hypothesis that increased accessibility to diagnostic services and increased awareness of sleep disorders are resulting in a decline in disease severity. These findings are consistent with the premise that worsening severity in sleep-disordered breathing is primarily attributable to increasing obesity.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:14:14 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12209 Fri 29 Oct 2021 12:13:03 AEDT ]]>
