Evaluation of dynamic pulmonary function test in overweight under graduate medical students

Dr Somanath Naik

Abstract :

 Overweight and obesity has become a major health problem in India. My aim was to determine and compare the possible alterations of pulmonary function tests among healthy controls and overweight individuals irrespective of gender. These findings serve as a reaffirmation, for the proven fact that increasing BMI leads to defective lung functions. All the four parameters were found to have statistical significance, which proves overweight to be a major risk factor for defective lung functions.
