Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of overweight and obesity on tidal lung function of infants with recurrent wheezing,in order to provide evidence for the prevention and control of asthma. Methods A total of 100 children aged 0 to 3 years with recurrent wheezing were selected in this study from Child Respiratory Department in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital. According to body mass index (BMI),wheezing children were divided into non-overweight group (n=70) and overweight/obesity group (n=30). And 80 children aged 0 to 3 years without respiratory diseases were selected as control group and divided into non-overweight group (n=50) and overweight/obesity group(n=30) according to BMI. The tidal breathing parameters and flow-volume loop of infants in each group were recorded and compared. Results The values oftime to peak tidal expiratory flow as a proportion of expiratory time(TPTEF/TE),volume to peak expiratory flow as a proportion of exhaled volume(VPTEF/VE),inspiratory time/expiratory time(TI∶TE),tidal expiratory flow when 25% of tidal volune remain in the lung/peak tidal expiratory flow(25/PF) of the wheezing infants with non-overweight significantly decreased compared with the control group without wheezing (t=8.518,7.767,3.142,7.860,P<0.05),while peak tidal expiratory flow(PTEF),tidal expiratory flow when 75% of tidal volume remains in the lung(TEF75) increased (t=6.728,8.540,P<0.05). In the control group and the wheezing group,compared with the non-overweight infants,tidal volume/kg(VT/kg) of infants with overweight and obesity decreased (t=2.872,3.048,P<0.05). Conclusion Overweight and obesity have impacts on VT/kg of tidal lung function,but did not affect airway obstruction indicators.
