AIMS
To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) values in children between the ages of 6 and 14 years.
METHODS
Data were collected from 1,439 children during public health screening. Each child was classified on the basis of age- and sex-specific BMI percentile as non-obese or obese (BMI >95th percentile). PEF and BMI were compared among age-sex-BMI percentile groups.
RESULTS
PEF values were lower in obese children than in non-obese children. There were also significant differences between girls and boys.
CONCLUSIONS
The association of higher BMI with lower PEF may indicate that obesity is an important risk factor for reduced airflow or lung function in children. These findings emphasise the importance of the prevention of obesity in children and adolescents in order to avoid possible future respiratory problems.
目的
研究6至14岁儿童的体重指数（BMI）与呼气峰值流速（PEF）值之间的关系。
方法
在公共卫生筛查期间收集了1439名儿童的数据。根据年龄和性别特异性BMI百分位数，将每个儿童分类为非肥胖或肥胖（BMI>第95百分位数）。在年龄-性别-BMI百分位数组之间比较PEF和BMI。
结果
肥胖儿童的PEF值低于非肥胖儿童。女孩和男孩之间也存在显著差异。
结论
较高的BMI与较低的PEF之间的关联可能表明肥胖是儿童气流减少或肺功能降低的重要危险因素。这些发现强调了预防儿童和青少年肥胖以避免未来可能出现的呼吸问题的重要性。
