“…Waist circumference was also significantly and negatively correlated with respiratory functions such as FEV 1 , FVC, FEV 1 /FVC, PEF and FEF 25-75% in the present study. This finding of the present study was in line with studies of Saxena et al,(2009); Soundariya&Neelambikai (2013) and Shenoy&Jagadamba (2016) which reported that there was negative correlation between WC and respiratory functions 11,12,13 . It was also noted that 1 cm increase in WC was associated with a 10 mL reduction in FVC and 4 mL reductionin FEV1 on observed value of the present study.…”

“…In the present study, there was a significant negative correlation between BMI and respiratory functions such as FEV 1 , FVC, FEV 1 /FVC, PEF and FEF 25-75% . These findings agree the results of previous studies done by Saxena et al, (2009);Soundariya&Neelambikai, (2013) and Shenoy&Jagadamba, (2016) 11,12,13 . Waist circumference was also significantly and negatively correlated with respiratory functions such as FEV 1 , FVC, FEV 1 /FVC, PEF and FEF 25-75% in the present study.…”

Background: The role of leptin in respiratory function has been studied in specific respiratory disease. A little is known about the association of serum leptin level and respiratory function parameter in healthy subjects. Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between anthropometric indices, serum leptin and respiratory function in Myanmar male adult subjects Material and Methods: A community- based cross-sectional comparative study was carried out in 101 apparently healthy male adult subjects of age 18-45 years. All participants were categorized by anthropometric indices into non- obese (body mass index: BMI < 25 Kg/m2 and obese subjects (BMI > 30 Kg/m2). Differences in respiratory function parameter and serum leptin level were compared across the group. Spirobank II spirometer was used to measure respiratory function (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEFR and FEF25-75%). Serum leptin level was investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: The percentage of predicted value of all respiratory function parameters of obese group was significantly lower than that of non-obese group (p <0.05). All respiratory function parameters were significantly and negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Median and interquartile range of serum leptin level in the obese group was 5.8(3.5-9.1) ng/mL and it was significantly higher than that of non-obese group [1.9(1.1-3.1) ng/mL, p <0.001]. Serum leptin level was significantly and negatively correlated with respiratory function parameters (FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEF and FEF25-75%). Conclusion: Respiratory function declined with increasing anthropometric indices might be due to increased serum leptin level considered as systemic inflammatory effect of body.

“…As vital capacities is equal to IRV + ERV + VT (L); The mean values of VC were significantly higher in obese than in all other groups. In another study VC was reported to have a negative relationship with BMI 21. An earlier study did not report any relation of VC with normal weight and obesity 18…”

Objective:To assess association of Body mass index (BMI) on respiratory parameters by performing spirometry in apparently healthy adults living in the district Jamshoro and Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan.Methods:A cross sectional study was conducted at Department of Physiology, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences Jamshoro, Pakistan from January to September 2015. A total of 180 underweight, normal, overweight and obese participants, aged between 18 to 40 years were included in the study. BMI was calculated by measuring weight and height by BMI scale (RGZ-160) in standing position. Pulmonary parameters were determined by spirometry on Power lab (AD instruments). Pulmonary parameters were compared between subjects in different categories of BMI.Results:Mean age of participants was 21.83±5.88 years and the mean BMI was 25.10±6.55 kg/m2. The study results revealed that except for FVC, which was not statistically significant (p=0.45) all other respiratory parameters were significantly different (p≤0.05) in all BMI categories. Mean FEV1/FVC ratio (93.1 vs. 90.3, 86.4 and 86.6 respectively) was highest among underweight as compared to overweight, obese and normal weight individuals. The mean VT was 1.22 vs. 0.90, 1.01 and 0.84 respectively, IRV was 1.04 vs. 1.18, 1.23 and 1.20 respectively, IC was 2.26 vs. 2.08, 2.25 and 2.05 respectively, VC was 2.63 vs. 2.42, 2.54 and 2.54 respectively, TLC was 2.98 vs. 3.03 vs. 3.18 and 3.17 respectively among underweight, overweight, obese and normal weight participants.Conclusion:We found a significant association between body mass index and pulmonary function parameters. Obesity causes detrimental effects on respiratory system.

“…Incremental form of acute exercise done using a bicycle ergometer in young males did not show any significant changes in the respiratory parameters except for FVC and VC which were reduced during the postexercise recording. [9] Yoga and breathing exercises involve isometric contraction which is responsible for increased strength of skeletal muscles and improvement of ventilatory functions. [10,11] Mandanmohan et al [4] showed that yoga especially bakasan, bhujangasan, and shalabhasan for a period of 6 months increases the FEV1, PEFR,…”

Muscle exercises are of two types-isotonic and isometric. Isotonic exercises such as walking, jogging, and running has proved beneficial in chronic diseases (e.g., hypertension, diabetes mellitus) and is widely advocated by clinicians and practiced by patients. Symptoms may get aggravated in some of the diseased conditions such as bronchial asthma (BA), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and
