• Excess weight and sleep-disordered breathing. (2005, background): “These putative mechanisms suggest that specific anatomical locations of excess fat deposition may be important (9, 14, 16, 24, 26, 37, 38).”
• Pathophysiology of human visceral obesity: an update. (2013, background): “Such relationship could be bidirectional: on one hand, visceral adiposity may be a feature of ectopic fat deposition including excess neck fat which may increase risk of OSA through metabolic and mechanic phenomena (389, 495, 503); on the other hand, OSA is also associated with reduced physical acti”
