As compared with control subjects, subjects with OSAS had a smaller oropharynx (P &amp;lt; 0.05) and larger adenoid (P &amp;lt; 0.01), tonsils (P &amp;lt; 0.05), and retropharyngeal nodes (P &amp;lt; 0.05). The size of lymphoid tissues correlated with severity of OSAS whereas BMI Z-score did not have a modifier effect on these tissues. Subjects with OSAS demonstrated increased size of parapharyngeal fat pads (P &amp;lt; 0.05) and abdominal visceral fat (P &amp;lt; 0.05). The size of these tissues did not correlate with severity of OSAS and BMI Z-score did not have a modifier effect on these tissues.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Upper airway lymphoid hypertrophy is significant in obese children with OSAS. The lack of correlation of lymphoid tissue size with obesity suggests that this hypertrophy is caused by other mechanisms. Although the parapharyngeal fat pads and abdominal visceral fat are larger in obese children with OSAS we could not find a direct association with severity of OSAS or with obesity.<\/jats:p>\n
