Amazing, live a healthy lifestyle and you’ll likely have fewer maladies!
Something amiss with this. This is only 14 pounds lost and BMI was 25, the top end of normal. Just barely overweight.
The magnitude of apnea events appears huge. These guys must have been at 40+ per hour to get 20some improvement in just 14 pounds.
I doubt it. They may have just started sleeping on their side, which by itself decreases events.
My impression is most elderly with sleep apnea are not facing 40 AHI events. More like 10 or 15 the top end of mild. Sub 5 is difficult.
So my problem is the weight loss is mild. 14 pounds in a 6 foot man is about 2 BMI levels. Hard to imagine those 14 were what was closing passages.
