The STOP-BANG questionnaire is one of the most widely used tools to screen for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in both clinical and general populations. It consists of eight simple questions assessing snoring, daytime tiredness, observed breathing pauses, high blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), age, neck circumference, and gender.
A higher STOP-BANG score indicates an increased risk of sleep apnea and can help identify individuals who may benefit from further evaluation with a sleep study or polysomnography.

Use this quick screening tool to better understand your potential risk for sleep-disordered breathing and take the first step toward improving your sleep quality and overall health.
