Modified STOP-Bang questionnaire for detecting obstructive sleep apnea in individuals with a body mass index below 35 kg/m <sup>2</sup>
The STOP-Bang questionnaire may require modification for individuals with a BMI below 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> who are suspected of having OSA. Revised cut-off values for age, neck circumference, and BMI-40 years, 35 cm, and 23 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, respectively-may enhance its diagnostic performance.
