Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Authors, In the reviewers opinion this study, very welll designed and performed, adequately written and presented is worth of publication. Some small editorial remarks are as follows: in the reference list the citations should be  presented in homogeneous way (e.g. one position has doi), v.115-117: this sentence should be rather divided in two separate sentences, i.e. separating radiological  and physical findings  (if possible a little bit more description of what was considered as a torus might be useful for possible inclusion of this findings into clinical practice, as not in all the sleep centers this examinations belongs to routine ), v. 182: kg/m2 should be added to 28.6, v. 315 influenced instead of influences
