The soft palate plays a major role in various functions and may have an impact over the changes in the airway.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Aim:<\/jats:bold>\n                    To evaluate the association of morphological varieties of soft palate and airway measurement among three different age\u2010groups of Riyadh population.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methodology:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Patients who were obese, had mild\u2010to\u2010moderate breathing issue, and young patients seeking orthodontic treatment were advised to get lateral cephalogram. Further, they were divided into three age\u2010groups and the upper airway diameter (UAD), mandibular plane hyoid distance (MN\u2010HY) was measured. The data collected were subjected to statistical analysis.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Result:<\/jats:bold>\n                    This study involved 831 patients, among which, 31\u201350\u2010year\u2010olds had greater mean UAD (12.54\u2009\u00b1\u20093.74), whereas 50+ had higher MN\u2010HY (13.23\u2009\u00b1\u20096.22). S\u2010shaped soft palate had greater mean UAD (19.63\u2009\u00b1\u20098.14), but straight line\u2010shaped had higher MN\u2010HY (13.94\u2009\u00b1\u20095.8). People between the ages of 10 and 30 (100%) had an undefined soft palate shape, while those between 31 and 50 years (38.2%) had a crooked one and those over 50 (34.1%) had a straight one (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.05). Multivariate linear regression demonstrates that the MN\u2010HY (\u2009=\u20091.607;\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001) is substantially associated with older age\u2010groups (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001). The majority of straight\u2010line soft palates were associated with the majority of normal range UAD and MN\u2010HY (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.01) values.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A significant association found between the changes in soft palate and the size of the airway.
