[Determination of anthropometric measurements in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in Turkish population].

Conclusions: The neck circumference was lower than the standard value in men, but higher in women. The waist/hip ratio was above the ideal measurements in both men and women. In this context, the determination of the country values will allow the identification of patients with the possibility of OSAS and referral to sleep centers for polysomnography.
