People say it’s obesity is most cases. I think that’s wrong.
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And don't say bmi is outdated...it shows your ignorance.

Most Americans have narrow jaws, and underdeveloped facial bone structure. It goes back to diet.
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.

That’s not the problem
These patients airways are 50% or even 75% smaller than they should be.
If you eating a western diet, you’re eating very soft food. Your jaw doesn’t undergo sufficient stress during childhood to reach a normal size. There are also issues with tongue posture.
This is why we have malocclusions, but it’s also why we have sleep apnea.
If you treat the structural issue, weight loss becomes much much easier. It happens automatically.
