BMI: a. Healthy normal control and obese control, p = 0.04 b. Healthy normal control and OHS, p = 0.001 c. Healthy normal control and OSAS, p = 0.001
Smoking package: a. Healthy normal control and OHS, p = 0.001 b. Obese control and OHS, p = 0.023 c. OHS and OSAS, p = 0.032
Epworth score: a. Healthy normal control and OHS, p = 0.007 b. Healthy normal control and OSAS, p = 0.002 c. Obese control and OSAS, p = 0.027
