Key Points

The aim is to examine the relationship between tongue strength and severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults.
Analyzed tongue strength in adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Categorized subjects based on OSA severity: mild, moderate, and severe.
Focused on non-obese patients with a BMI less than 30 kg/m².
Tongue strength did not significantly differ among patients with varying OSA severity in adults.
In non-obese patients, those with severe OSA had lower tongue strength compared to those with mild OSA.
Future research should focus on the implications of tongue strength in non-obese OSA patients.

Abstract

In an adult cohort, tongue strength did not differ among patients with mild, moderate, and severe OSA. However, in non-obese patients (BMI < 30 kg/m²), tongue strength was lower in those with severe OSA compared to those with mild OSA. Future studies on the impact of tongue strength may be best directed at non-obese patients with OSA.
