I’m 6 foot and weigh around 168 lbs. and I had apnea.
People say it’s obesity is most cases. I think that’s wrong.
The obesity is exacerbating a structural issue. Most Americans have narrow jaws, and underdeveloped facial bone structure. It goes back to diet.
The skeletal issues compromise your airway.
PAP machines will help, but you’re also married to the machine for the rest of your life. Palate expansion will cure the problem, and it’s what i would do.

Obstructive sleep apnea is up to 4 times more common among men and 7 times more common among people who are obese (ie, body mass index [BMI] > 30).

People say that because it's the number one risk factor and a super majority of people with sleep apnea or obese and 90%+ are overweight on the bmi scale.
And don't say bmi is outdated...it shows your ignorance.

Damn right it goes back to diet, the diet that is putting an extra 20-39 lbs of fatty tissue pushing on the air ways.
