“…This study has some mentionable limitations. First, the size of our study population was relatively small, which means that a comparison between genders relative to the association between obesity indices and PFTs ( 44 ) could not be performed. Second, body fat was not measured by direct methods, such as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) because we wanted to use simple and practical methods of measuring adiposity that can be easily and affordably employed in routine clinical practice.…”

Objectives: We aimed to determine the obesity indices that affect 6-min walk test (6-MWT) distance in children and adolescents with obesity and to compare the 6-MWT distance of obese subjects with that of normal-weight subjects.Methods: Obese children and adolescents aged 8–15 years and normal-weight age- and gender-matched controls were enrolled. All participants performed the 6-MWT; respiratory muscle strength (RMS), including maximal inspiratory pressure and maximal expiratory pressure; and spirometry. Data between groups were compared. In the obesity group, correlation between obesity indices and pulmonary function testing (6-MWT, RMS, and spirometry) was analyzed.Results: The study included 37 obese and 31 normal-weight participants. The following parameters were all significantly lower in the obesity group than in the normal-weight group: 6-MWT distance (472.1 ± 66.2 vs. 513.7 ± 72.9 m; p = 0.02), forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) (85.3 ± 6.7 vs. 90.8 ± 4.5%; p < 0.001), forced expiratory flow rate within 25–75% of vital capacity (FEF25−75%) (89.8 ± 23.1 vs. 100.4 ± 17.3 %predicted; p = 0.04), and peak expiratory flow (PEF) (81.2 ± 15 vs. 92.5 ± 19.6 %predicted; p = 0.01). The obesity indices that significantly correlated with 6-MWT distance in obese children and adolescents were waist circumference-to-height ratio (WC/Ht) (r = −0.51; p = 0.001), waist circumference (r = −0.39; p = 0.002), body mass index (BMI) (r = −0.36; p = 0.03), and chest circumference (r = −0.35; p = 0.04). WC/Ht was the only independent predictor of 6-MWT distance by multiple linear regression.Conclusions: Children and adolescents with obesity had a significantly shorter 6-MWT distance compared with normal-weight subjects. WC/Ht was the only independent predictor of 6-MWT distance in the obesity group.

“…Obezitesi olan çocuklarda adipoz dokuda biriken makrofajların ürettiği inflamatuar sitokinler ve adipokinlerin etkisi ile akciğer ve immün sistem doğrudan etkilenmektedir, bu durum sistemik inflamasyon patogenezinde önemlidir. Diğer bir neden de özellikle karın ve göğüs kafesindeki yağ kitlesinde artış, akciğerlerin ve göğüs kafesinin genişlemesini engelleyen bir sorun olduğundan solunum fonksiyonlarında düşmeye yol açmaktadır (26).…”

Purpose: The purpose of the present study is to examine the impact of age, sex and body mass index (BMI) on some indices of the pulmonary ventilation in healthy children actively practicing sport, between 11 and 14 years of age, living in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Materials and methods: A group of 22 healthy volunteers (boys, n=14 and girls, n=8) with high level physical activity underwent a functional test for the evaluation of pulmonary ventilation. In order to assess the influence of age, BMI and sex on some indices of pulmonary ventilation, they were divided into the following groups: in accordance with the age - group 11-12 years old (n=14) and group 13-14 years old (n=8); in accordance with the BMI group < 20 kg/m2 (n=14) and BMI group >20 kg/m2 (n=8) and in accordance with the sex – boys group (n=14) and girls group (n=8). The results are presented as X±SD. The data has been analyzed with Independent Samples Test (t-test) (SPSS v. 13. 0). The difference at P<0.05 was accepted as significant. Results: We did not find significant differences in most of the indices between the groups by age, body mass index and sex. Although there was higher maximum pulmonary ventilation and higher peak (maximal) expiratory flow in boys compared with the girls. Conclusion: Despite the good health condition and high level of physical activity, we found out higher maximum pulmonary ventilation and higher peak (maximal) expiratory flow in boys as compared with the girls.
