Obesity Map vs. Apnea Map
saw this map of obesity in the U.S., and thought it would be an interesting study to compare incidence of sleep apnea against this obesity map and see how much overlap there is. I wouldn't suspect there would be a lot of overlap, but the study would be interesting.

I know that Indiana is among the the top for obesity. I would think that the overlap would be huge. Weight might not be the only factor, but it is one of the biggest.

could be huge overlap, but it doesn't seem anywhere near a 1:1 relationship. but that's just my guess.

Looks very similar to the map for ADHD.
