Another measurement that is relevant for SDB and appears to be related to weight is neck size.
May be we should post it too.
For me, I am at right weight. My body fat is 20% which is on the higher side for male. My neck size is 15.5 inches. I have mild-moderate apnea.
I am working on reducing my body fat. I will let you know it's effect on my neck size.
