Age‐Related Changes in Tongue Strength and Endurance in Individuals With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Age appears to influence tongue strength and endurance in both groups, with OSA patients showing slightly higher values overall. Our findings suggest that reduced tongue function may not be a primary factor in OSA pathophysiology. Further studies are warranted to explore the implications of tongue muscle function in OSA management and intervention strategies.
