First I've heard high pressure is correlated to large body mass. What source do you have to back up this?
You're the one that made that statement. What is YOUR source to back up that assertion???

Personally, I've known lots of small, skinny people who had high blood pressure.
I don't know that there's a medical correlation between the two.

I didn't make that statement I was asking for a source on the statement that someone alluded that high pressure was needing the larger someone was.
Well, that statement/premise/assertion is WRONG. There is no correlation regarding to pressure and body mass or the severity of sleep apnea. Each person is different and while some may need more pressure, some may not need nearly as much to keep their airway open.
