چکیده
Author Dr Amita Kumari Mahapatra, MBBS, MD Assistant Professor, Department of Physiology Hi-Tech Medical College and Hospital, Bhubaneswar-751025 Abstracts Obesity is one of the most frequently found health risks and the prevalence of obesity is rapidly escalating globally in all age groups. Our 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.
