What's crazy is all the downvoting. Why are people so invested in this idea that BMI is the primary/sole cause of OSA? It's literally killing people and the science is pretty conclusive. It should be one of those screens you take at certain milestone ages like colonoscopies.

People are ignorant about conditions they don't have and they want to believe that it won't affect them.

I started noticing clear symptoms of OSA when my BMI was less than 20 and my VO2Max was around 51. That is to say, I was leaner and fitter than most.

I completely agree that they should screen folks routinely.
