Neck Size and Airway Risk

Neck circumference predicts airway narrowing better than overall weight does. Two measurements against the thresholds clinicians actually use.

Weight gets the attention, but neck circumference is the better predictor — because it measures the thing that actually matters, which is tissue deposited around the airway rather than anywhere else on the body.

That is why people who say their weight has barely changed can still find their snoring has got worse, and why two people at the same weight can have very different risk.
