Sleep disorder breathing (SDB), especially obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is the most commonly found in stroke patients (more than 50). Numerous studies have shown the correlation between worsening of OSAS and several antrophometric measurement. These measurement are easy to obtain with no additional costs in patients suspected to have OSAS. The purpose of this study is to find out the correlation between athropometric measurement and the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on patient with ischemic stroke. The method of this study was anthropomeric measurement including neck circumference, waist circumference and body mass index were assessed with cross-sectional design in 43 acute phase ischemic stroke patient with OSAS based on head CT-scan in RSAU dr. M. Salamun Bandung in August–December 2016. The result is no correlation was observed between neck circumference and waist circumference with OSAS. A statiscally significant correlation was found between BMI and OSA (p<0.05). Our study indicate that BMI is the major contributing factor to OSAS.
