Efeitos do aumento progressivo do peso corporal na função pulmonar em seis grupos de índice de massa corpórea

Abstract: Lung function is influenced by the progressive increase in BMI, with changes in lung function better demonstrated when BMI > 45 kg/m²; these changes are more evident when BMI > 50.9 kg/m².

“…Because pulmonary function tests provide objective data on lung function, ( 3 ) they are essential in the management of individuals with respiratory dysfunction and in individuals at risk of developing respiratory dysfunction, as is the case of overweight individuals. The combination of spirometry and lung volume measurements should be the method of choice for the evaluation of lung function, given that it is the best and most comprehensive method for measuring lung function, allowing a reliable diagnosis of lung disease.…”

“…( 3 ) A associação da espirometria com a medida dos volumes pulmonares deve ser o método escolhido para a avaliação proposta, por essa ser o melhor e mais completo instrumento para aferir a função pulmonar, permitindo um fidedigno diagnóstico do distúrbio ventilatório. Tal associação deve, portanto, fazer parte da rotina assistencial desses pacientes.…”

“…Epidemiological studies have repeatedly demonstrated the inverse relationship existing among pulmonary function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [2], lung cancer [3], cardiovascular disease [4] and diabetes [5]. Reduced pulmonary function has been reported to be inversely associated with cigarette smoking [6], obesity [7], metabolic syndrome [8] and conditions linked to an increased cardiovascular risk, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a fast pulse rate and physical inactivity [1,4]. …”
