Dynamic Lung Function Tests in Obese.

Obesity is a far-reaching problem worldwide today. It is more prevalent than ever and millions of people are at risk for number of diseases like type II diabetes, dyslipidaemia, derangement of pulmonary functions and cardiovascular diseases. The negative association between obesity and pulmonary functions is still not very clear. In this study we have assessed dynamic lung function tests in obese and controls. The parameters assessed between control and obese were statistically analyzed using SPSS software. The Forced Vital Capacity, maximum voluntary ventilation and mid expiratory flow were not statistically significant (p > 0.05), however expiratory time was statistically significant (p < 0.001).
