  • Excess weight – Your risk for sleep apnea is higher if you are overweight with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or more or obese with a BMI of 30 or higher.

    • Large neck size - Your risk for sleep apnea is higher if you have a neck size of 17 inches or more for men, or 16 inches or more for women. A large neck has more soft tissue that can block your airway during sleep.

    • Middle age – Sleep apnea can occur at any age. However, it is more common between young adulthood and middle age.

    • Male gender – Sleep apnea is more common in men than in women. For women the risk of sleep apnea increases with menopause.

    • Hypertension – High blood pressure is extremely common in people who have sleep apnea.

    • Family history – Sleep apnea is a heritable condition. This means that you have a higher risk of sleep apnea if a family member also has it. Inherited traits that increase the risk for sleep apnea include obesity and physical features such as a recessed jaw. Other common family factors - such as physical activity and eating habits - also may play a role.
