Study reveals tongue strength varies in non-obese patients with different severity of obstructive sleep apnea, suggesting targeted interventions.
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.
