Abstract

This review tries to discuss the researches that are related to pulmonary function in obesity, its mechanisms and consequences. Abdominal adiposity could be considered as a better predictor of pulmonary function than weight or BMI. Obesity has important effects on respiratory function, which add considerably to the load of respiratory disease. Weigh loss is found to improve lung function in patients with respiratory disorders especially with asthma.
