Of note, when we have rescored our data using a more strict definition of hypopneas based only on a minimum of 4% desaturation (without considering the arousals), only 2 of the 52 subjects (3.8%) were categorized as having OSA (AHI >5), which suggests that using only oxygen criteria, the presence of OSA may not be captured in young lean populations.
It has also been shown that at a much lower level of BMI, relative to Caucasians, Asians have a high prevalence of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and other adverse outcomes, suggesting that lower BMI cutoffs should be used for these relatively lean populations.
