Read up. It is NOT a simple matter when you ask Who is at risk for apnea!!!

search the apnea links in the public info section at the top of the forum. Much good info there.
In general: rate of sleep apnea is
male>female
obese>normal weight

BUT there are many specific areas where these general statements do not apply and are even flat out contradicted.
