Determination of the Relationship between the Body Composition and Pulmonary Function in Obese Individuals

Abstract: Objective: Body mass index (BMI) is used as a basic parameter in assessing obesity. However, BMI is not sensitive in the assessment of body fat percentage (BFP) and body fat distribution (BFD). The aim of this study is to determine the effect of BFP and BFD on the pulmonary functions and compare this effect with BMI. Methods:This study was conducted with a total of 170 volunteers. BMI, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and BFPs of healthy normal weight, overweight, and obese individuals were measured and their pulmona… Show more

“…Therefore, other modulating factors may play significant roles in determining whether a reaction will occur or not. For example, body composition may also be another important factor for evaluating the side effects; TBW can be a cheap, noninvasive indicator to evaluate hydration; and also, respiratory functions can rather be affected by fat mass, fat-free mass, and so on[ 14 , 15 ]; thus, we hypothesized that these factors helps us to evaluate the respiratory performance. We investigated whether the total body composition can be a clue to prevent the respiratory adverse effects, and our study proved that, especially in male patients, FFM, WHR, and TBW were statistically correlated with FEF 25–75% ∆, and FVC∆ was correlated with WHR.…”
