ABSTRACT

20/h. In the regression equationthat AHI was as the dependent, only volumetric change rate of velopharynx had statistic significance. CONCLUSION Middle-age and old women with OSAHS have obvious anatomy abnormalities which are the morphological foundation of the OSAHS. Higher compliance of upper airway plays an important role in the OSAHS pathogenesis in middle-age and old women.
