AB  - OBJECTIVE: To determine the correlation between various obesity indices and 
      pulmonary function parameters in obese Thai children and adolescents. METHODS: 
      Obese children and adolescents aged from 8 to 18 y and diagnosed under the 
      criteria of International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) were enrolled. Anthropometric 
      and body composition measurements (bioelectrical impedance analysis) of all 
      eligible participants were recorded. Pulmonary function studies (spirometry and 
      body plethysmography) were also performed on the same day. RESULTS: Forty-five 
      children and adolescents [84 % boys; mean age 11.9 +/- 2.4 y; mean BMI 31.8 +/- 5.1 
      kg/m(2); and, mean body mass index (BMI) z-score 3.2 +/- 0.5] were studied. Mean 
      body fat percentage, mean fat mass index (FMI), mean fat free mass index, and 
      mean truncal fat percentage were 47.4 +/- 10.2 %, 15.2 +/- 5.2 kg/m(2), 16.3 +/- 3.1 
      kg/m(2), and 47.7 +/- 11.5 %, respectively. Abnormal lung functions were found in 
      73.2 % of subjects; the most common was decreased functional residual capacity 
      (FRC) (29 cases; 64.4 %). There was a negative correlation between FRC and BMI 
      z-score (r = -0.32; p 0.03), waist-height ratio (r = -0.32; p 0.02), body fat 
      percentage (r = -0.32; p 0.03), FMI (r = -0.36; p 0.02), and truncal fat 
      percentage (r = -0.32; p 0.04). Obese individuals who had FMI > 17 kg/m(2) were 
      5.7 times more likely to have decreased FRC than those who had lower FMI (95 % CI 
      1.1-29.7; p 0.016). CONCLUSIONS: Decreased FRC was the most common pulmonary 
      function abnormality in obese children and adolescents. BMI z-score, waist-height 
      ratio, body fat percentage, FMI, and truncal fat percentage were all negatively 
      correlated with FRC. FMI had the highest negative correlation. Obese individuals 
      with FMI > 17 kg/m(2) had a 5.7 times increased risk of low FRC. Appropriate 
      planning for respiratory care and follow-up may be required in this population.
