Overweight, Obesity, and Lung Function in Children and Adults—A Meta-analysis
Open accessAbstract
Background There is conflicting evidence on the effect of obesity on lung function in adults and children with and without asthma. We aimed to evaluate the relation between overweight or obesity and lung function, and whether such relationship varies by age, sex, or asthma status. Methods We searched PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane, and EMBASE for all studies (in English) reporting on obesity status (by BMI) and lung function, from 2005 to 2017. Main outcomes were FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, FEF25-75, TLC, RV, and FRC. Random-effects models were used to calculate the pooled risk estimates; each study was weighed by the inverse effect size variance. For each outcome, we compared overweight or obese (“obese”) subjects with those of normal weight. Results All measures of lung function were decreased among obese subjects. Obese adults showed a pattern (lower FEV1, FVC, TLC, and RV) different from obese children (more pronounced FEV1/FVC deficit with unchanged FEV1 or FVC). There were also seemingly different patterns by asthma status, in that subjects without asthma had more marked decreases in FEV1, TLC, RV and FRC than subjects with asthma. Subjects who were obese (as compared to overweight) had even further decreased FEV1, FVC, TLC, RV, and FRC. Conclusion Obesity is detrimental to lung function, but specific patterns differ between children and adults. Physicians should be aware of adverse effects of obesity on lung function, and weight-control should be considered in the management of airway disease among the obese.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
