Many factors can increase the risk of sleep apnea, including:
Lifestyle habits
Smoking and drinking alcohol can affect how your brain controls sleep. Smoking can also cause airway inflammation, which can narrow the upper airways and make them more likely to collapse.
Health conditions
Some conditions can affect how your brain controls your airway and chest muscles, which can increase your risk of sleep apnea. These include:
Heart failure
Stroke
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
Myasthenia gravis
Hypothyroidism
Other factors
Other factors that can increase your risk of sleep apnea include:
Obesity: Being overweight or obese greatly increases your risk
Neck circumference: People with thicker necks may have narrower airways, making it harder to breathe at night
Gender: Men are 2–3 times more likely than premenopausal women to have obstructive sleep apnea, but women's risk increases after menopause
Age: People over 35 years old may be at higher risk
Family history: Having a family history of sleep apnea can increase your risk
