We use the AHI (the Apnea-Hypopnea Index) to assess both central sleep apnea (CSA) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The risk factors for CSA and OSA AHI scale include: Obesity; Male sex; Family history of apnea; Large neck circumference; Being older; Using recreational drugs, alcohol, ...

In the presence of the conditions above, sleep apnea is defined as an apnea-hypopnea index of at least five episodes/hour. This definition is stricter because these individuals may be already experiencing the negative medical effects of sleep apnea, and it may be important to begin treatment at...
135,136], and OSA resulted associated with a higher frequency of asthma exacerbations [136]. Mild-moderate OSA occurred in 49% of patients with difficult-to-treat asthma [137]. Patients with severe asthma showed increased apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness [...
: Elevated body position early after delivery increased airway size during wakefulness, and decreased apnea hypopnea index in a woman with pregnancy related sleep apnea. J Clin Sleep Med. 2014; 10(7): 815–7. PubMed Abstract | Publisher Full Text | Free Full Text 94. Zaremba S, Mueller...
They had a higher apnea–hypopnea index on average and experienced more hypoxemia during their sleep, both in terms of duration and the extent of desaturation. Even though the prevalence of comorbidities increased with age, hypertension in young male adults carried higher risks for OSA. Young ...

Obstructive sleep apnea was defined by the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) or the oxygen desaturation index (ODI). The OSA regression models were extended 1 by 1 by the additional confounder variables given on the y-axis. The dashed vertical lines mark the respective OSA β-coefficients in the ...
There was a significant reduction in mean AHI, irrespective of sex (Table2), again due to a significantly greater reduction in the severe OSA subgroup (Table3). Mean AI, hypopnea index (HI), supine and non-supine AHI, nadir oxygen saturation (SpO2), and time with SpO2< 90% decreased...
