We will complete a 12 item questionnaire and data sheet with the study subjects based on their responses and 2 measurements specified below, right before application of a study the start of their sleep study called "Polysomnography".
If available, we will also use information from the subjects medical record, including information regarding a history of diabetes (blood sugar that is too high), high blood pressure and laboratory data such as blood sugar and blood lipids (fats in the blood). We will record this information for research purposes.
The 2 measurements performed for research purposes consist of the size of the neck and waist using a flexible tape measure. After the sleep study, we will also use results from that study in this research. We expect the subjects study participation to be completed in 30 minutes or less.
There will be no follow up. If a participant cannot complete the sleep study for any reason, the study team may decide to withdraw the subject's participation without further notice.
The study will be open for participation from June 2012 through November of 2012.
