Objective: To document trends in subject demographics, anthropometry and sleep disorder severity over 21 years of diagnostic sleep studies. Design, participants and setting: A retrospective observational study of consecutive subjects undergoing initial diagnostic polysomnography for investigation of possible sleep disorders in a university-affiliated tertiary public metropolitan hospital in the Hunter New England region of New South Wales between 1987 and 2007. Main outcome measures: Body weight, body mass index (BMI) and severity of sleep-related breathing disorders (apnoea-hypopnoea index [AHI]). Results: Between 1987 and 2007, 14 648 new diagnostic sleep studies were performed The median age of subjects (51 years, interquartile range, 41...
