We tried to assess the effect of body mass index (BMI) on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in Korean male patients by using portable polysomnography. Materials and Methods：We evaluated 796 patients whose Apnea+hypopnea index (AHI) were over 5 as the result of overnight portable polysomnography from September 2011 to December 2016. The subjects were classified into 2 groups on basis of the AHI severity : A group : 5≤AHI＜30 ; B group : 30≤AHI. The subjects were classified into 3 groups on basis of the BMI : X group : BMI＜25 ; Y group : 25≤BMI＜27.7 ; Z group: 27.7≤BMI. By multiple logistic regression analysis, we studied the relationship of AHI as dependent variable to BMI and age in each group. Results： There was significant correlation between 30≤AHI group and 27.7≤BMI group (odds ratio, 3.443 ; p＜ 0.01). Conclusions：Weight reduction is more needed in the 27.7≤BMI group due to the risk of 30≤AHI in Korean male OSA patients.
