Abstract:These results point out that the severe morbid obesity (BMI>or=60 kg/m(2)) may lead to pulmonary function impairment and presents more prominent pulmonary function gain after massive weight reduction. The possible clinical implications of these results are that PFT abnormalities in subjects with BMI<60 kg/m(2) should probably be interpreted as consequence of intrinsic respiratory disease and that severe morbid obese patients may be encouraged to lose weight to improve their pulmonary function, especially those… Show more
“…Improvement of pulmonary function after bariatric surgery has been observed in several small studies. Santana and colleagues examined changes in pulmonary function test in 39 patients who underwent weight-loss surgery [7]. At a mean 12 months postoperatively, they found a significant increase in both FVC and FEV 1 compared with baseline and improvement of pulmonary function was greater in the super-super obese (BMI [ 60 kg/m 2 ) compared with morbidly obese patients (BMI \ 60 kg/m 2 ).…”
Weight loss after laparoscopic gastric bypass significantly improves restrictive and obstructive respiratory mechanics. The improvements were observed as early as 3 months postoperatively.

“…A second open follow-up study in adults who underwent surgery for gastric volume reduction also showed gains in FVC and FEV 1 12. The group with the highest BMI showed the greatest gain, despite exhibiting the same degree of relative weight loss.…”
Weight loss in severely obese children correlated with an improvement in lung function, especially ERV. The improvement in ERV correlated with the decrease in SDS-BMI and waist circumference.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
