A weight loss paradigm suggests that face and mandibular width and cervicomental angle most strongly reflect regional adiposity. Facial angles and heights are insensitive to weight change and could be more representative of craniofacial skeletal structure. This study informs the interpretation of facial phenotype assessed by this craniofacial photographic method which can be applied to future studies of craniofacial phenotype in OSA.
