Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), obesity, and disturbed glucose homeostasis are usually considered distinct clinical condition, although they are tightly related to each other. The aim of our manuscript is to provide an overview of the current evidence on OSA, obesity, and disturbed glucose homeostasis providing epidemiologic evidence, biological insights, and therapeutic strategies. RECENT FINDINGS The mechanisms hypothesized to be involved in this complex interplay are the following: (1) "direct weight-dependent" mechanisms, according to which fat excess compromises respiratory mechanics, and (2) "indirect weight-dependent" mechanisms such as hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and secondary hyperinsulinemia, leptin resistance and other hormonal dysregulations frequently found in subjects with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and/or sleep disorders. Moreover, the treatment of each of these clinical conditions, through weight loss induced by diet or bariatric surgery, the use of anti-obesity or antidiabetic drugs, and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), seems to positively influence the others. These recent data suggest not only that there are multiple connections among these diseases but also that treating one of them may result in an improvement of the others.

Abstract
Childhood obesity contributes to many diseases, including asthma. There is literature to suggest that asthma developing as a consequence of obesity has a nonallergic or non-T2 phenotype. In this review, obesity-related asthma is utilized as a prototype of non-T2 asthma in children to discuss several nonallergic mechanisms that underlie childhood asthma. Obesity-related asthma is associated with systemic T helper (Th)1 polarization occurring with monocyte activation. These immune responses are mediated by insulin resistance and dyslipidemia, metabolic abnormalities associated with obesity, that are themselves associated with pulmonary function deficits in obese asthmatics. As in other multifactorial diseases, there is both a genetic and an environmental contribution to pediatric obesity-related asthma. In addition to genetic susceptibility, differential DNA methylation is associated with non-T2 immune responses in pediatric obesity-related asthma. Initial investigations into the biology of non-T2 immune responses have identified the upregulation of genes in the CDC42 pathway. CDC42 is a RhoGTPase that plays a key role in Th cell physiology, including preferential naïve Th cell differentiation to Th1 cells, and cytokine production and exocytosis. Although these novel pathways are promising findings to direct targeted therapy development for obesity-related asthma to address the disease burden, there is evidence to suggest that dietary interventions, including diet modification, rather than caloric restriction alone, decrease disease burden. Adoption of a diet rich in micronutrients, including carotenoids and 25-OH cholecalciferol, a vitamin D metabolite, may be beneficial since these are positively correlated with pulmonary function indices, while being protective against metabolic abnormalities associated with the obese asthma phenotype.

Abstract
Although body composition is related to lung function, few studies have reported the effects of sarcopenic obesity on lung function. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the associations between lung function and sarcopenia in the presence and in the absence of obesity. We analyzed nationally representative data of 3044 adults aged > 60 years as collated by the 'Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2014-2016. Subjects were classified into four groups: non-sarcopenic non-obese (S-O-), non-sarcopenic obese (S-O+), sarcopenic non-obese (S+O-), and sarcopenic obese (S+O+) according to handgrip strength (GS) and body mass index (BMI). GS was found to be positively associated with forced volume vital capacity (FVC). The S+O+ group had significantly lower FVC values than the S-O- group. Subjects in the S+O+ group were more likely to have restrictive lung disease than those in the S-O- group (odds ratios [ORs] 2.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.72-4.59), and the ORs of restrictive lung disease in S+O+ group were higher than in the S-O+ or S+O- groups. These results were consistent after stratifying by sex and age (61-70 and 71-80). FEV1/FVC ratios (a marker for obstructive lung disease) were not significantly different between S+O+ and S-O- groups. Sarcopenic obesity is associated with a higher risk of restrictive lung disease in Korean elderly.

Abstract
Background In obese patients, high closing capacity and low functional residual capacity increase the risk for expiratory alveolar collapse. Constant expiratory flow, as provided by the new flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) mode, was shown to improve lung recruitment. We hypothesized that lung aeration and respiratory mechanics improve in obese patients during FCV. Methods We compared FCV and volume-controlled (VCV) ventilation in 23 obese patients in a randomized crossover setting. Starting with baseline measurements, ventilation settings were kept identical except for the ventilation mode related differences (VCV: inspiration to expiration ratio 1:2 with passive expiration, FCV: inspiration to expiration ratio 1:1 with active, linearized expiration). Primary endpoint of the study was the change of end-expiratory lung volume compared to baseline ventilation. Secondary endpoints were the change of mean lung volume, respiratory mechanics and hemodynamic variables. Results The loss of end-expiratory lung volume and mean lung volume compared to baseline was lower during FCV compared to VCV (end-expiratory lung volume: FCV, − 126 ± 207 ml; VCV, − 316 ± 254 ml; p < 0.001, mean lung volume: FCV, − 108.2 ± 198.6 ml; VCV, − 315.8 ± 252.1 ml; p < 0.001) and at comparable plateau pressure (baseline, 19.6 ± 3.7; VCV, 20.2 ± 3.4; FCV, 20.2 ± 3.8 cmH2O; p = 0.441), mean tracheal pressure was higher (baseline, 13.1 ± 1.1; VCV, 12.9 ± 1.2; FCV, 14.8 ± 2.2 cmH2O; p < 0.001). All other respiratory and hemodynamic variables were comparable between the ventilation modes. Conclusions This study demonstrates that, compared to VCV, FCV improves regional ventilation distribution of the lung at comparable PEEP, tidal volume, PPlat and ventilation frequency. The increase in end-expiratory lung volume during FCV was probably caused by the increased mean tracheal pressure which can be attributed to the linearized expiratory pressure decline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), maintaining a normal BMI is associated with better pulmonary function (FEV1) and survival. Given therapy improvements, some patients are now overweight, obese or present rapid weight gain. However, the impact of being overweight on clinical outcomes (e.g. FEV1 & metabolic complications) remains unknown. METHODS Baseline data from 290 adult CF patients and observational follow-up (3.5 years; n = 158) were collected. BMI categories: underweight (UW < 18.5 kg/m2), normal (NW 18.5-26.9 kg/m2), and overweight/obese (OW ≥ 27 kg/m2). Follow-up data (weight change over time): weight loss (WL>10%), stable (WS), and weight gain (WG>10%). BMI categories and follow-up data were compared to FEV1 and cardiometabolic parameters: glucose tolerance, estimated insulin resistance (IR), blood pressure (BP), and lipid profile. RESULTS For BMI categories, 35 patients (12.1%) were UW, 235 (81.0%) NW, and 20 (6.9%) OW. Compared to UW and NW patients, OW patients are older (p < 0.001), had less pancreatic insufficiency (p = 0.009), a higher systolic BP (p = 0.004), higher LDL (p < 0.001), and higher IR (p < 0.001). Compared to UW patients, OW patients had a better FEV1 (p < 0.001). For weight change, WL was observed in 7 patients (4.4%), WS in 134 (84.8%) and WG in 17 patients (10.8%). Compared to WL and WS patients, WG patients had a 5% increase in FEV1 accompanied by higher IR (p = 0.017) and triglycerides (p < 0.001). No differences were observed for glucose tolerance for neither BMI nor weight change. CONCLUSION A higher weight or weight gain over time are associated with a better FEV1 but also some unfavorable cardiometabolic trends.

Abstract
Children are vulnerable to air pollution-induced lung function deficits, and the prevalence of obesity has been increasing in children. To evaluate the joint effects of long-term PM1 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤ 1.0 μm) exposure and obesity on children's lung function, a cross-sectional sample of 6740 children (aged 7-14 years) was enrolled across seven northeastern Chinese cities from 2012 to 2013. Weight and lung function, including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), peak expiratory flow (PEF), and maximal mid-expiratory flow (MMEF), were measured according to standardized protocols. Average PM1, PM2.5, PM10 and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) exposure levels were estimated using a spatiotemporal model, and sulphur dioxide (SO2) and ozone (O3) exposure were estimated using data from municipal air monitoring stations. Two-level logistic regression and general linear models were used to analyze the joint effects of body mass index (BMI) and air pollutants. The results showed that long-term air pollution exposure was associated with lung function impairment and there were significant interactions with BMI. Associations were stronger among obese and overweight than normal weight participants (the adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for PM1 and lung function impairments in three increasing BMI categories were 1.50 (1.07-2.11) to 2.55 (1.59-4.07) for FVC < 85% predicted, 1.44 (1.03-2.01) to 2.51 (1.53-4.11) for FEV1 < 85% predicted, 1.34 (0.97-1.84) to 2.04 (1.24-3.35) for PEF < 75% predicted, and 1.34 (1.01-1.78) to 1.93 (1.26-2.95) for MMEF < 75% predicted). Consistent results were detected in linear regression models for PM1, PM2.5 and SO2 on FVC and FEV1 impairments (PInteraction < 0.05). These modification effects were stronger among females and older participants. These results can provide policy makers with more comprehensive information for to develop strategies for preventing air pollution induced children's lung function deficits among children.

World J Respirol 2020; 10:1-10. [DOI: 10.5320/wjr.v10.i1.1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2019] [Revised: 12/16/2019] [Accepted: 12/23/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In the obese patient population, some patients have severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with daytime hypoventilation. Such patients are generally identified on the basis of the presence or absence of daytime hypercapnia, and the condition is called obesity hypoventilation syndrome. However, mechanisms for such daytime hypoventilation remain unclear.
AIM To investigate metabolic syndrome and daytime hypercapnia association based on hypercapnia prevalence in obese OSA patients in a nested case-control study.
METHODS Consecutive obese patients (body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2) who underwent polysomnography due to suspected OSA were included. Among them, patients with severe OSA (apnea hypopnea index ≥ 30/h) were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of hypercapnia during wakefulness (arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide ≥ or < 45 Torr, respectively). The characteristics and clinical features of these two groups were compared.
RESULTS Among 97 eligible patients, 25 patients (25.8%) had daytime hypercapnia. There were no significant differences in age, gender, body mass index, apnea-hypopnea index, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores between the two groups. However, patients with hypercapnia had a significantly lower arterial partial pressure of oxygen level (75.8 ± 8.2 torr vs 79.9 ± 8.7 torr, P = 0.042) and higher arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide level (46.6 ± 2.5 torr vs 41.0 ± 2.9 torr, P < 0.001). Additionally, patients with hypercapnia were more likely to have metabolic syndrome (72.0% vs 48.6%, P = 0.043) and a higher metabolic score (the number of satisfied criteria of metabolic syndrome). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the presence of metabolic syndrome was associated with the presence of hypercapnia (OR = 2.85, 95%CI: 1.04-7.84, P = 0.042).
CONCLUSION Among obese patients with severe OSA, 26% of patients had hypercapnia during wakefulness. The presence of metabolic syndrome was independently correlated with the presence of daytime hypercapnia.

Characteristics of factors for decreased lung function in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Sci Rep 2019; 9:20206. [PMID: 31882983 PMCID: PMC6934766 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-56759-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2019] [Accepted: 12/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often accompanies type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, background factors affecting these diseases in the elderly remain unclear. Eligible patients with T2DM were divided into two age groups—non-elderly (<65 years) and elderly (≥65 years); COPD, ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced expiratory volume (FEV1/FVC ratio), and percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1% predicted) were examined, and factors related to reduced respiratory function according to age group were evaluated. In total, 371 patients with T2DM were analysed. COPD was found in 9 patients (5.3%) in the non-elderly group and 45 (22.5%) in the elderly group. In the elderly, male sex, low body mass index (BMI), insulin therapy, and high C-peptide immunoreactivity levels were factors related to COPD. In the non-elderly, age, female sex, high BMI were factors related to decreased FEV1% predicted. Female sex was factor related to decreased FEV1% predicted in both age groups. Low BMI was a factor related to reduced respiratory function in elderly patients and high BMI was a factor related to reduced respiratory function in non-elderly patients. Thus, BMI needs to be managed according to the age and general condition of T2DM patients.

Abstract
Background Abdominal obesity is a chronic condition that can contribute to impairments in lung function, leading to increased risks for respiratory-related diseases. Body position is an important technique that effectively restores and increases lung function and chest wall volumes. The objective of the current study was to examine the effects of the body positions on total and compartmental chest wall volumes, lung function, and respiratory muscle strength in individuals with and without abdominal obesity. Methods Twenty obesity and twenty healthy males performed in four body position including sitting without and with back support, Fowler's, and supine positions. Each position was performed for five minutes. Chest wall volumes, lung function, and respiratory muscle strength were assessed in each position. Results Sitting without and with back support resulted in higher total and rib cage compartmental chest wall volumes, lung function, and inspiratory muscle strength than Fowler's and supine positions in both groups (p < 0.001). Abdominal obesity subjects had significantly less total and compartmental chest wall volumes and lung function across four body positions than healthy subjects (p < 0.001). Respiratory muscle strength in the obesity group was less than that in the healthy control group (p > 0.05). Conclusions This study provides new information regarding the effect of obesity and body position on chest wall volumes, lung function, and respiratory muscle strength. Among obesity individuals who are bedridden, sitting increases lung function, total and rib cage compartmental chest wall volumes, and inspiratory muscle strength-and would therefore likely to decrease the risk of respiratory-related disease-relative to Fowler's and supine positions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-level spinal cord injury (SCI) results in profound spinal and supraspinal deficits, leading to substantial ventilatory limitations during whole-body hybrid functional electrical stimulation (FES)-rowing, a form of exercise that markedly increases the active muscle mass via electrically induced leg contractions. This study tested the effect of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) on ventilatory and aerobic capacities in SCI. METHODS This blinded, randomized crossover study enrolled 19 patients with SCI (level of injury ranging from C4 to T8). All patients were familiar with FES-rowing and had plateaued in their training-related increases in aerobic capacity. Patients performed two FES-rowing peak exercise tests with NIV or without NIV (sham). RESULTS NIV increased exercise tidal volume (peak, 1.50 ± 0.31 L vs 1.36 ± 0.34 L; P < .05) and reduced breathing frequency (peak, 35 ± 7 beats/min vs 38 ± 6 beats/min; P < .05) compared with the sham test, leading to no change in alveolar ventilation but a trend toward increased oxygen uptake efficiency (P = .06). In those who reached peak oxygen consumption (Vo2peak) criteria (n = 13), NIV failed to significantly increase Vo2peak (1.73 ± 0.66 L/min vs 1.78 ± 0.59 L/min); however, the range of responses revealed a correlation between changes in peak alveolar ventilation and Vo2peak (r = 0.89; P < .05). Furthermore, those with higher level injuries and shorter time since injury exhibited the greatest increases in Vo2peak. CONCLUSIONS Acute NIV can successfully improve ventilatory efficiency during FES exercise in SCI but may not improve Vo2peak in all patients. Those who benefit most seem to be patients with cervical SCI within a shorter time since injury. TRIAL REGISTRY ClinicalTrials.gov; Nos.: NCT02865343 and NCT03267212; URL: www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract
The role for direct assessment of small airway function in subjects with respiratory symptoms but normal airflow by spirometry is discussed. Small airway disease syndrome is described in numerous disease states using a multidisciplinary approach. Data demonstrate that small airway disease is related to presence of respiratory symptoms, exposure to inhaled toxins, presence of local and systemic inflammation, and presence of histologic abnormalities within the distal lung. Investigation of immunological derangements associated with distal airway dysfunction in the setting of normal spirometry may provide insight into pathophysiological mechanisms that are present at disease onset. For the purposes of this symposium, data were reviewed in selected clinical conditions (obesity, environmental inhalational injury, and cigarette smoking) that have been recently studied in the André Cournand Pulmonary Physiology Laboratory at Bellevue Hospital using the forced oscillation technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess association of Body mass index (BMI) on respiratory parameters by performing spirometry in apparently healthy adults living in the district Jamshoro and Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan. METHODS A cross sectional study was conducted at Department of Physiology, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences Jamshoro, Pakistan from January to September 2015. A total of 180 underweight, normal, overweight and obese participants, aged between 18 to 40 years were included in the study. BMI was calculated by measuring weight and height by BMI scale (RGZ-160) in standing position. Pulmonary parameters were determined by spirometry on Power lab (AD instruments). Pulmonary parameters were compared between subjects in different categories of BMI. RESULTS Mean age of participants was 21.83±5.88 years and the mean BMI was 25.10±6.55 kg/m2. The study results revealed that except for FVC, which was not statistically significant (p=0.45) all other respiratory parameters were significantly different (p≤0.05) in all BMI categories. Mean FEV1/FVC ratio (93.1 vs. 90.3, 86.4 and 86.6 respectively) was highest among underweight as compared to overweight, obese and normal weight individuals. The mean VT was 1.22 vs. 0.90, 1.01 and 0.84 respectively, IRV was 1.04 vs. 1.18, 1.23 and 1.20 respectively, IC was 2.26 vs. 2.08, 2.25 and 2.05 respectively, VC was 2.63 vs. 2.42, 2.54 and 2.54 respectively, TLC was 2.98 vs. 3.03 vs. 3.18 and 3.17 respectively among underweight, overweight, obese and normal weight participants. CONCLUSION We found a significant association between body mass index and pulmonary function parameters. Obesity causes detrimental effects on respiratory system.

Abstract
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of pathogens causing nosocomial pneumonia and could induce pulmonary excessive apoptosis. Although much has been learned about metabolic diseases induced by obesity, the information linking bacterial pneumonia to obesity is limited. Accordingly, we investigated the apoptosis of normal (lean) and diet-induced obesity (DIO, fed a high-fat diet) mice after nasal instillation with E. coli. Lung tissues were obtained at 0 (preinfection), 12, 24, and 72 h after infection, and acute pulmonary inflammation was observed at 12 h. Elevated cell apoptosis and percentage of pulmonary cells depolarized with collapse of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (Δψm) occurred in response to bacterial infection. The relative mRNA and protein expressions of Bax, caspase-3, and caspase-9 increased, but Bcl-2 decreased in the lung. Interestingly, the apoptotic percentage and most of apoptosis-associated factors mentioned above peaked at 12 or 24 h in the lean-E. coli group, while at 24 or 72 h in the DIO-E. coli group. Taken together, these findings indicated that the E. coli pneumonia caused excessive pulmonary apoptosis through the mitochondria-mediated pathway, and the apoptosis was delayed in the DIO mice with E. coli pneumonia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious obesity-associated disorder that causes significant short- and long-term medical consequences. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to compare the 6-month and 1-year postoperative symptomatic OSA remission rates of patients undergoing bariatric surgery based on their preoperative body mass index (BMI) stratification, type of bariatric operation-sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)-and OSA severity. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 297 obese patients with a diagnosis of OSA who had undergone either SG or RYGB between 2011 and 2015. RESULTS The overall 6-month symptomatic OSA remission rate for patients (n = 255) was 74.5%. At 6 months, patients with a preoperative BMI of 30-34.9 kg/m2 (class I), 35-39.9 kg/m2 (class II), and 40+ kg/m2 (class III) had 100, 70.0, and 75.0% (p = 0.2164) remission rates, respectively. The 6-month remission rates for SG and RYGB were 75.3 and 70.8% (p = 0.5165), respectively. The overall 1-year symptomatic OSA remission rate for patients (n = 162) was 87.1%. At 1 year, class I, II, and III patients had 100, 85.7, and 87.5% (p = 0.5740) remission rates, respectively. The 1-year remission rates for SG and RYGB were 89.2 and 81.2% (p = 0.2189), respectively. A sub-analysis (n = 69) based on preoperative OSA severity levels did not affect the remission outcome at either the 6-month (p = 0.3670) or 1-year (p = 0.3004) follow-up. CONCLUSION Most obese patients experience symptomatic remission of their OSA after bariatric surgery, regardless of their preoperative BMI, choice of operation, or OSA severity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the effect of weight loss (WL) on lung function (LF) in obese individuals who underwent bariatric surgery, and on asthma control, quality of life, LF, and controller medication in a sub-group of obese asthma (OA) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Obese individuals who underwent bariatric surgery between July 2015 and July 2017 were included in this prospective longitudinal study. They were classified as OA or obese non-asthmatics (O-NA). LF was assessed preoperatively and 6-9 months postoperatively. In OA patients, asthma control, quality of life, and treatment step were evaluated. P < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS Twenty-six patients (OA: n = 8; O-NA: n = 18), 84.6% with class III obesity were enrolled. Preoperatively, OA patients showed worse values of LF parameters, with upper and lower airway CARAT scores of 6.1 ± 3.1 and 13.4 ± 4.1, respectively, and 75% were in step 4 of treatment. After WL, improvements in dynamic volumes, lung capacities, and total resistance were observed in both groups. Despite greater increases in OA patients, no significant differences were observed between groups. In OA patients, improvements in CARAT score of upper (3.9 ± 1.9, p = 0.017) and lower (4.2 ± 4.4, p = 0.027) airways, and in Asthma Life Quality scores (8.1 ± 5.6, p = 0.017) were observed along with a decrease (-1.8 ± 1.0, p = 0.017) in treatment step. CONCLUSIONS All LF parameters improved after WL. Although the improvement was greater in OA patients, the difference between groups was not significant. Significant improvement from baseline in uncontrolled symptoms of OA patients and quality of life was observed after WL, along with a significant decrease in treatment step.

Abstract
The respiratory impact of obesity can be both symptomatic (resting and exertional breathlessness) and functional (pulmonary function at rest and on exercise). The prevalence of breathlessness is increased in adult obese individuals, ∼50% at rest and ∼75% on exertion (mMRC score>0). Pulmonary function abnormalities in obese adults include reduced functional residual capacity (FRC) and expiratory residual volume (ERV), and less frequently reduced total lung capacity (a restrictive defect, with TLC below the 5th percentile of predicted is present in around 15% in severe obese adults), with normal residual volume (RV). Airflows are barely affected by obesity, but bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) is very prevalent, which may be due to the loss of bronchoprotective effect of deep inspiration in obesity (mechanical pathophysiology of BHR). In children, the modifications of lung volumes seen are quite different: TLC is normal while FRC and RV are reduced, explaining the increase in FVC. FEV1/FVC is therefore reduced by obesity, without true airflow obstruction (dysanaptic growth). Resting oxygen consumption (V'O2) is increased due to obesity and normally increases with exercise. Maximum V'O2 is normal or weakly reduced in obese patients; on the other hand, the increase in respiratory load increases the oxygen cost of ventilation, which tends to be rapid, both at rest and during exertion. Finally, it should be noted that there is only limited statistical correlation between exercise dyspnoea and respiratory function abnormalities in obesity.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Rising costs and increasing morbidity makes the identification and treatment of high-risk asthma phenotypes important. In this review, we outline the complex relationship between obesity and asthma. RECENT FINDINGS Studies have confirmed a bi-directional relationship between obesity and asthma. Pathophysiological factors implicated include genetic risk, the effect of diet and microbiome, and obesity-related cytokines. There have been robust, albeit derived, efforts to phenotype this group with distinct clinical presentations based on age of onset of asthma. Unfortunately, the poor performance of biomarkers and traditional lung function testing has impeded diagnosis, phenotyping, and management of the obese asthma patient. There is also a lack of targeted interventions with weight loss showing some benefits. Obesity increases the prevalence of asthma and is associated with worse outcomes. There are unique research and clinical challenges while managing this group of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Fixed airflow obstruction (FAO) in asthma occurs despite optimal inhaled treatment and no smoking history, and remains a significant problem, particularly with increasing age and duration of asthma. Increased lung compliance and loss of lung elastic recoil has been observed in older people with asthma, but their link to FAO has not been established. We determined the relationship between abnormal lung elasticity and airflow obstruction in asthma. METHODS Non-smoking asthmatic subjects aged >40 years, treated with 2 months of high-dose inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting beta-agonist (ICS/LABA), had FAO measured by spirometry, and respiratory system resistance at 5 Hz (Rrs5 ) and respiratory system reactance at 5 Hz (Xrs5 ) measured by forced oscillation technique. Lung compliance (K) and elastic recoil (B/A) were calculated from pressure-volume curves measured by an oesophageal balloon. Linear correlations between K and B/A, and forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity (FEV1 /FVC), Rrs5 and Xrs5 were assessed. RESULTS Eighteen subjects (11 males; mean ± SD age: 64 ± 8 years, asthma duration: 39 ± 22 years) had moderate FAO measured by spirometry ((mean ± SD z-score) post-bronchodilator FEV1 : -2.2 ± 0.5, FVC: -0.7 ± 1.0, FEV1 /FVC: -2.6 ± 0.7) and by increased Rrs5 (median (IQR) z-score) 2.7 (1.9 to 3.2) and decreased Xrs5 : -4.1(-2.4 to -7.3). Lung compliance (K) was increased in 9 of 18 subjects and lung elastic recoil (B/A) reduced in 5 of 18 subjects. FEV1 /FVC correlated negatively with K (rs = -0.60, P = 0.008) and Rrs5 correlated negatively with B/A (rs = -0.52, P = 0.026), independent of age. Xrs5 did not correlate with lung elasticity indices. CONCLUSION Increased lung compliance and loss of elastic recoil relate to airflow obstruction in older non-smoking asthmatic subjects, independent of ageing. Thus, structural lung tissue changes may contribute to persistent, steroid-resistant airflow obstruction. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION ACTRN126150000985583 at anzctr.org.au (UTN: U1111-1156-2795).

Abstract
Introduction: Obesity affects about 40% of US adults and 18% of children. Its impact on the pulmonary system is best described for asthma. Areas covered: We reviewed the literature on PubMed and Google Scholar databases and summarize the effect of obesity, its associated metabolic dysregulation and altered systemic immune responses, and that of weight gain and loss on pulmonary mechanics, asthma inception, and disease burden. We include a distinct approach for diagnosing and managing the disease, including pulmonary function deficits inherent to obesity-related asthma, in light of its poor response to current asthma medications. Expert opinion: Given the projected increase in obesity, obesity-related asthma needs to be addressed now. Research on the contribution of metabolic abnormalities and systemic immune responses, intricately linked with truncal adiposity, and that of lack of atopy, to asthma disease burden, and pulmonary function deficits among obese children is fairly consistent. Since current asthma medications are more effective for atopic asthma, investigation for atopy will guide management by distinguishing asthma responsive to current medications from the non-responsive disease. Future research is needed to elucidate mechanisms by which obesity-mediated metabolic abnormalities and immune responses cause medication non-responsive asthma, which will inform repurposing of medications and drug discovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired lung health represents a significant burden on global health, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer. Given its global health impact, it is important to understand the determinants of impaired lung function and its relation to lung cancer risk independent of smoking. However, to date, no study has evaluated determinants of impaired lung function in a cohort exclusively of never-smokers, who also represent a growing proportion of all lung cancers. METHODS A total of 222,274 never-smokers with reproducible spirograms were identified in the UK Biobank population-based cohort and included in the analysis. Baseline volumetric measures of lung function, including forced expiratory volume in 1-s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC), were used to define lung function impairment. Determinants of impaired lung function were evaluated using Poisson regression with robust variance estimation. The added value of lung function in lung cancer prediction was evaluated using Fine and Gray regression accounting for the competing risk of all-cause mortality. FINDINGS Lung function impairment was associated with low birthweight, ambient air pollution (PM2·5 μg/mm3), and overweight, after adjustment for other important risk factors. We observed modest improvement in discrimination by adding lung function to our lung cancer prediction model for never-smokers. The highest optimism-corrected AUC at 3 (0·700, 95% CI: 0·654-0·734) and 5 years (0·694, 95% CI: 0·658-0·736) included FEV1 (% of GLI predicted FEV1), while the highest AUC at 7 years was based on the inclusion of FEV1/FVC (0·722, 95% CI: 0·687-0·762). INTERPRETATION We identified several modifiable risk factors associated with increased risk of lung function impairment among lifetime never-smokers in UKB. We achieved moderate discrimination for lung cancer risk-prediction for never-smokers, and found modest improvement with the inclusion of lung function. FUND: This study was supported by a Canada Research Chair to RJH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Severity of illness scores rest on the assumption that patients have normal physiologic values at baseline and that patients with similar severity of illness scores have the same degree of deviation from their usual state. Prior studies have reported differences in baseline physiology, including laboratory markers, between obese and normal weight individuals, but these differences have not been analyzed in the ICU. We compared deviation from baseline of pertinent ICU laboratory test results between obese and normal weight patients, adjusted for the severity of illness. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study in a large ICU database. SETTING Tertiary teaching hospital. PATIENTS Obese and normal weight patients who had laboratory results documented between 3 days and 1 year prior to hospital admission. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Seven hundred sixty-nine normal weight patients were compared with 1,258 obese patients. After adjusting for the severity of illness score, age, comorbidity index, baseline laboratory result, and ICU type, the following deviations were found to be statistically significant: WBC 0.80 (95% CI, 0.27-1.33) × 10/L; p = 0.003; log (blood urea nitrogen) 0.01 (95% CI, 0.00-0.02); p = 0.014; log (creatinine) 0.03 (95% CI, 0.02-0.05), p < 0.001; with all deviations higher in obese patients. A logistic regression analysis suggested that after adjusting for age and severity of illness at least one of these deviations had a statistically significant effect on hospital mortality (p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS Among patients with the same severity of illness score, we detected clinically small but significant deviations in WBC, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen from baseline in obese compared with normal weight patients. These small deviations are likely to be increasingly important as bigger data are analyzed in increasingly precise ways. Recognition of the extent to which all critically ill patients may deviate from their own baseline may improve the objectivity, precision, and generalizability of ICU mortality prediction and severity adjustment models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Increased evidence suggests that metabolic syndrome (MetS) is correlated with lung function impairment. This study aimed to explore the associations between MetS risk factors and the lung function. SUBJECTS/METHODS The cross-sectional study included 6945 participants attending health examination between 2010 and 2012 in Taiwan. MetS was assessed according to the criteria of National Cholesterol Education Program III. Spirometric parameters were measured to define lung function. The relationships were tested using multiple linear regression and logistic regression analyses. RESULTS The prevalence of MetS was significantly higher in males (16.2%) than females (3.8%). Although the prevalence of restrictive lung disease (RLD) was comparable between genders (20.7 and 21.0%), males with co-existent MetS had a higher prevalence of RLD than females (27.4 vs. 18.0%). Abdominal obesity, indicated by waist circumference (WC) and weight-to-height ratio (WHtR), was the most significant factor associated with lung function decline. Other components of MetS also showed statistically significant relationships, but very weak, with lung function. There was a trend toward an increased prevalence of RLD with the increasing number of MetS scores in males, independent of age, smoking, and body mass index. CONCLUSIONS Abdominal obesity was the key component of MetS associated with mechanical effect on lung function impairment in a prime-age adult population. Although RLD was not associated with increased probability of having MetS, the participants with more MetS scores were at a higher risk of losing lung function.

Findings from the ALSPAC study. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2019; 200:75-83. [PMID: 30630337 PMCID: PMC6811931 DOI: 10.1164/rccm.201806-1168oc] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2018] [Accepted: 01/11/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Body composition changes throughout life may explain the inconsistent associations reported between body mass index and lung function in children. Objectives: To assess the associations of body weight and composition trajectories from 7 to 15 years with lung function at 15 years and lung function growth between 8 and 15 years. Methods: Sex-specific body mass index, lean body mass index, and fat mass index trajectories were developed using Group-Based Trajectory Modeling on data collected at least twice between 7 and 15 years from 6,964 children (49% boys) in the UK Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children birth cohort. Associations of these trajectories with post-bronchodilation lung function parameters at 15 years and with lung function growth rates from 8 to 15 years were assessed using multivariable linear regression models, stratified by sex, in a subgroup with lung function data (n = 3,575). Measurements and Main Results: For all body mass measures we identified parallel trajectories that increased with age. There was no consistent evidence of an association between the body mass index trajectories and lung function measures. Higher lean body mass index trajectories were associated with higher levels and growth rates of FVC, FEV1, and forced expiratory flow, midexpiratory phase in both sexes (e.g., boys in the highest lean body mass index trajectory had on average a 0.62 L [95% confidence interval, 0.44-0.79; P trend < 0.0001] higher FVC at 15 yr than boys in the lowest trajectory). Increasing fat mass index trajectories were associated with lower levels and growth rates of FEV1 and forced expiratory flow, midexpiratory phase only in boys and lower levels of FEV1/FVC in both sexes. Conclusions: Higher lean body mass during childhood and adolescence is consistently associated with higher lung function at 15 years in both sexes, whereas higher fat mass is associated with lower levels of only some lung function parameters.

Body Fat Percentage in Relation to Lung Function in Individuals with Normal Weight Obesity. Sci Rep 2019; 9:3066.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates the association between obesity and lung function. However, no previous study has examined whether obesity affects lung function in normal weight participants with high body fat. We hypothesized that subjects with normal weight obesity (NWO) were inversely associated with lung function in Taiwan. The study sample was composed of participants who attended health examinations at the Tri-Service General Hospital from 2010 to 2016. A total of 7801 eligible participants who were classified as NWO were divided into quartiles by percentage body fat (PBF), which was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). A multivariable linear regression was performed to assess the association between PBF quartiles and pulmonary function. The relationship between PBF and the presence of obstructive and restrictive lung diseases was analyzed by a logistic regression. PBF quartiles were closely associated with reduced forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) in all adjusted models. This relationship remained significant in the male population, and a dose-dependent effect was observed. Increased PBF was associated with increased risks for the presence of restrictive lung diseases. These results presented a novel finding that body fat exhibited an inverse association with pulmonary function in NWO subjects. More comprehensive management of subjects with normal weight but high body fat, which might contribute to metabolic dysfunction and impaired pulmonary function, is needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease of unknown cause. Obesity can affect many physiological factors. The relationship between obesity and sarcoidosis is unclear, and can been described as posing a 'chicken and egg' scenario for the patient as it is not always clear whether it is a consequence of, or a risk factor for any disease. The purpose of this review is to examine the dual roles of obesity on sarcoidosis morbidity and the incidence. RECENT FINDINGS Obesity magnifies the symptoms of sarcoidosis and corticosteroid therapy increases BMI. Prospective epidemiologic studies started to explore the role of obesity as a potential risk factor for sarcoidosis. Three studies in the United States, and one study in Denmark, have demonstrated significantly increased risks of sarcoidosis among obese compared with nonobese patients; risk estimates ranged from 1.42 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.07-1.89] to 3.59 (95% CI, 2.31-5.57). SUMMARY Obesity can be both a consequence of sarcoidosis treatment, and a contributor to disease risk likely through the pro-inflammatory environment of obesity. Prospective epidemiologic cohort studies are needed to explore the cause of sarcoidosis and insight into possible avenues of treatment development and prevention.

Abstract
This "proof-of-principle" study evaluates if the recently presented "Imiomics" technique could visualize how fat and lean tissue mass are associated with local tissue volume and fat content at high/unprecedented resolution. A whole-body quantitative water-fat MRI scan was performed in 159 men and 167 women aged 50 in the population-based POEM study. Total fat and lean mass were measured by DXA. Fat content was measured by the water-fat MRI. Fat mass and distribution measures were associated to the detailed differences in tissue volume and fat concentration throughout the body using Imiomics. Fat mass was positively correlated (r > 0.50, p < 0.05) with tissue volume in all subcutaneous areas of the body, as well as volumes of the liver, intraperitoneal fat, retroperitoneal fat and perirenal fat, but negatively to lung volume. Fat mass correlated positively with volumes of paravertebral muscles, and muscles in the ventral part of the thigh and lower limb. Fat mass was distinctly correlated with the fat content in subcutaneous adipose tissue at the trunk. Lean mass was positively related to the large skeletal muscles and the skeleton. The present study indicates the Imiomics technique to be suitable for studies of fat and lean tissue distribution, and feasible for large scale studies.

Abstract
Obesity is an independent risk factor for severe influenza infection. However, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms are still incompletely understood. In this study, we have utilized a murine influenza infection model in genetic-induced obese (db/db) mice to explore the mechanisms by which obesity increases host susceptibility to influenza infection. We find that db/db mice have enhanced viral replication, exaggerated inflammatory responses, and dysregulated lung repair process after influenza infection, and consequently increased host mortality. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ), an important inflammation regulator, was downregulated in the lung macrophages of db/db mice after influenza infection. Strikingly, the treatment of 15-deoxy-Δ12, 14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2), a PPAR-γ agonist, largely rescued the survival of db/db mice after influenza infection. Interestingly, macrophage PPAR-γ-deficient mice exhibited enhanced mortality after influenza infection and 15d-PGJ2 fails to rescue host mortality in macrophage PPAR-γ-deficient mice, suggesting that PPAR-γ expression in macrophages is critical for the action of 15d-PGJ2. These data indicate that obesity attenuates lung antiviral immunity and hampers host recovery through the modulation of macrophage PPAR-γ expression. Furthermore, modalities targeting macrophage PPAR-γ expression and/or function may serve as promising therapeutics to treat severe influenza infection in obese patients.

Abstract
Purpose Healthy patients with unilateral diaphragm paralysis (UDP) are often asymptomatic; those with UDP and comorbidities that increase work of breathing are often dyspneic. We report the effect of obesity on exercise capacity in UDP patients. Methods All obese and nonobese patients with UDP undergoing cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) during a 32-month period in the exercise laboratory of an academic hospital were compared to a retrospectively identified cohort of obese and nonobese controls without UDP, matched for key features. CPET used a modified Bruce treadmill protocol with breath-to-breath expired gas analysis. O2 uptake, minute ventilation, exercise time, and work rate were recorded at peak exercise. Static pulmonary functions were measured. Kruskal-Wallis, Wilcoxon rank sum, and Fisher's exact tests were used to compare continuous and categorical variables, respectively. Stratified linear regression was used to quantify the effect of UDP and obesity on CPET variables. Results Twenty-two UDP patients and 46 controls were studied. The BMI of obese and nonobese patients was 33.0±4.2 and 25.8±2.4 kg/m2, respectively. UDP subjects with obesity, compared to controls with neither condition, showed significantly reduced peak O2 uptake normalized to actual body weight (1.57±0.64 versus 2.01±0.88 L/min), shorter exercise time (5.7±2.0 versus 8.5±2.9 minutes), and lower peak ventilation. This was not observed in UDP alone or obesity alone. Peak work rate trended lower in the combined UDP-obesity group. Conclusion Neither UDP nor obesity alone significantly reduced exercise capacity. Superimposed UDP and obesity interact to create a ventilatory limitation to exercise, with reduced peak-VO2, exercise time, and work rate.

Abstract
Although a simple and useful pulmonary function test, spirometry remains underutilized in India. The Indian Chest Society and National College of Chest Physicians (India) jointly supported an expert group to provide recommendations for spirometry in India. Based on a scientific grading of available published evidence, as well as other international recommendations, we propose a consensus statement for planning, performing and interpreting spirometry in a systematic manner across all levels of healthcare in India. We stress the use of standard equipment, and the need for quality control, to optimize testing. Important technical requirements for patient selection, and proper conduct of the vital capacity maneuver, are outlined. A brief algorithm to interpret and report spirometric data using minimal and most important variables is presented. The use of statistically valid lower limits of normality during interpretation is emphasized, and a listing of Indian reference equations is provided for this purpose. Other important issues such as peak expiratory flow, bronchodilator reversibility testing, and technician training are also discussed. We hope that this document will improve use of spirometry in a standardized fashion across diverse settings in India.

Acute effects of three pulmonary reexpansion modalities on thoracoabdominal motion of healthy subjects: Randomized crossover study. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0213773. [PMID: 30889207 PMCID: PMC6424428 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0213773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2018] [Accepted: 03/01/2019] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chest physiotherapy can be an alternative to increase lung volumes through pulmonary expansion therapies, but there is still inconsistency in the literature in order to determine which device can promote a greater volume increase at the expense of a better ventilatory pattern. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the chest wall kinematics of healthy subjects submitted to the use of three different devices for pulmonary reexpansion. METHODS Chest wall compartmental and operational volumes, breathing pattern and thoracoabdominal asynchrony were evaluated in 12 healthy individuals through optoelectronic plethysmography during quiet breathing, pulmonary reexpansion and recovery. Three different devices (volume-oriented incentive spirometer-IS-v; positive expiratory pressure-PEP; and incentive spirometer volume and pressure oriented-IS-vp) were administered in a random order with at least 48h between the devices. RESULTS A greater volume variation in the chest wall and its compartments was observed when the IS-vp was used in comparison with the other devices (p<0.05). Furthermore, the IS-vp mobilizes a greater amount of volume accompanied by greater synchronism between the compartments when compared to IS-v (p <0.05). CONCLUSION The IS-vp may be able to increase total and compartmental chest wall volumes, as well as improve synchrony among compartments when compared to IS-v and PEP devices, thus constituting an important tool for treating patients with restrictive ventilatory pattern.

Abstract
Emergency physicians (EP) frequently resuscitate and manage critically ill patients. Resuscitation of the crashing obese patient presents a unique challenge for even the most skilled physician. Changes in anatomy, metabolic demand, cardiopulmonary reserve, ventilation, circulation, and pharmacokinetics require special consideration. This article focuses on critical components in the resuscitation of the crashing obese patient in the emergency department, namely intubation, mechanical ventilation, circulatory resuscitation, and pharmacotherapy. To minimize morbidity and mortality, it is imperative that the EP be familiar with the pearls and pitfalls discussed within this article.

Abstract
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains to be one of the most frequent causes of death worldwide. Cardiovascular (CV) risk factors such as hypertension and obesity often manifest in childhood. The study examines the associations of blood pressure, body mass index and physical activity with cardiopulmonary, metabolic, and psychosocial health of children in a systems physiology approach. Methods/Design: This cross-sectional study will be performed in a cohort of 6 to 8 year old school children (n = 1000). As a measure of vascular health, retinal microvascular diameters and large artery pulse wave velocity will be examined. Anthropometric parameters, such as weight, height, body mass index, and blood pressure will be assessed according to standardized protocols for children. Physical fitness and activity will be measured by a 20 m shuttle run, a 20 m sprint and a proxy-reported questionnaire on lifestyle behavior. Spirometry, assessment of heart rate variability and skin advanced glycation end products as well as a flanker test will be performed to determine systemic end organ alterations. Discussion: The study offers a unique integrative primary prevention concept that aims to set the grounds for a healthy and active lifestyle approach during childhood. It will help optimize CV risk stratification to identify children at risk of disease progression later in life. The study will demonstrate the importance of specific CV screening programs in children to reduce the growing burden of CV disease in adulthood. Prospective follow-up studies will have to prove the efficacy of primary prevention programs in children to achieve healthier aging as a long-term goal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of obesity on pulmonary function and exercise tolerance in women with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). SUBJECTS AND METHODS A descriptive analytic cross- sectional study was carried out. Thirty-nine (39) sedentary climacteric women, aged 45 to 60 years, were evaluated and submitted to polysomnography. The participants were divided into 4 groups: a) 'eutrophic non-OSA' (n = 13); b) 'eutrophic OSA' (n = 5); c) 'obese non-OSA' (n = 6); d) 'obese OSA' (n = 15). All subjects underwent clinical and anthropometric evaluation, followed by pulmonary function tests and 6-minute walk test (6MWT). RESULTS There was a significant difference in the predicted percentage values of FEV1/FVC when comparing 'eutrophic OSA' and 'obese OSA' (97.6% ± 6.1% vs. 105.7% ± 5.7%, respectively; p = 0.025). The other spirometric variables did not show any differences between the studied groups. There was no significant difference in the maximum distance walked when the 'eutrophic non-OSA', 'eutrophic OSA', 'obese non-OSA' and 'obese OSA' groups were compared. CONCLUSION Considering the results of this study, OSA itself did not influence pulmonary function or functional capacity parameters compared to eutrophic women. However, not only isolated obesity but also obesity associated with OSA can negatively impact sleep quality and lung function.

Abstract
Lung function deterioration is frequently observed in overweight and obese patients. In the current study, we explored the contribution of body fat (BF) composition, particularly visceral and nonvisceral adiposity, to lung function deterioration. In addition, we examined gender- and age-specific differences in the association between the joint effects of BF% and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations with lung function. This cross-sectional study involved 17,802 subjects undergoing health check-up. Clinical characteristics, body composition using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and lung function were evaluated and compared between genders. Subjects were stratified by gender-specific BF% cut-offs for evaluating the association of body composition and the risk of restrictive lung disease (RLD). Gender differences in the joint effects of BF% and CRP on lung function were observed. Visceral obesity increased the risk of RLD in women aged ≥45 years, but nonvisceral obesity reduced the risk of RLD in women aged <45 years. Our findings suggest that visceral fat per se can be used as an effective parameter to assess the association between lung function and obesity.

Abstract
Objective Previous studies have evaluated the link between metabolic syndrome and obesity with impaired lung function, however findings have been controversial. We aimed to compare lung function among subjects with different metabolic health and obesity status. Methods Total 10,071 participants were evaluated at the Health Promotion Center in Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital between January 2012 and December 2014. Being metabolically healthy was defined as having fewer than three of the following risk factors: high blood pressure, high fasting blood glucose, high triglyceride, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and abdominal obesity. Obesity status was defined as body mass index (BMI) higher than 25 kg/m2. Analyses of pulmonary function were performed in four groups divided according to metabolic health and obesity: metabolically healthy non-obese (MHNO), metabolically health obese (MHO), metabolically unhealthy non-obese (MUHNO), and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUHO). Results Metabolically unhealthy subjects were more prone to decreased lung function compared with their metabolically healthy counterparts, regardless of obesity status. When multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed according to quartiles of forced vital capacity (FVC) or forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (% pred), after adjusting for age, sex, and smoking status, odds ratio (OR) for the lowest FVC and FEV1 (% pred) quartiles were significantly higher in MUHO subjects (1.788 [95% CI, 1.531–2.089] and 1.603 [95% CI, 1.367–1.881]) and lower in MHO subjects (0.768 [95% CI, 0.654–0.902] and 0.826 [95% CI, 0.700–0.976]) with MHNO group as the reference, when OR for highest FVC and FEV1 quartiles were considered as 1.0 Conclusion Metabolic health is more closely associated with impaired lung function than obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our aim in this investigation was to evaluate maximum phonation time in people with obesity not submitted to surgery and in people with obesity submitted to bariatric surgery and compare it with maximum phonation time of healthy volunteers. The hypothesis was that the reduced maximum phonation time in people with obesity would be corrected after surgery due to weight loss. METHOD Maximum phonation time was evaluated in 52 class III patients (Group A), 62 class III patients who were treated by surgery 3 to 115 months before (Group B), 20 controls (Group C), and 15 class III patients whose maximum phonation time was evaluated before and two to six months after surgery (Group D). Maximum phonation time was measured in the sitting position with the vowels /A/, /I/, and /U/. RESULTS Maximal phonation time was shorter in groups A and B compared with that of controls. There was an increase in maximal phonation time after surgery (Group B); however, the difference was not significant when compared with that in group A. In group D, maximal phonation time for /A/ increased after the surgery. In group A, there was a negative correlation between maximal phonation time and weight or body mass index and a positive correlation between maximal phonation time and height. In group B, there was an almost significant positive relation between percentage of weight loss and maximal phonation time for /A/ (p=0.08) and /I/ (p=0.07). Mean values of spirometry testing (FEV1, FVC, and FEV1/FVC) in people with obesity (groups A and B), expressed as percentage of the predicted value, were within the normal range. CONCLUSION Compared with healthy controls, maximal phonation time is shorter in people with obesity, with a tendency to increase after bariatric surgery, as a possible consequence of weight loss.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of metabolic syndrome and its components on lung function in women. METHODS This is cross-sectional study. A total of 121 women aged 20-75 years were assisted in two primary health centers of Brazil. These women were divided into two groups according to the presence of metabolic syndrome. Waist circumference and blood pressure measurements, high density low-cholesterol (HDL-c) and triglycerides analysis and pulmonary function tests by spirometry were performed. RESULTS Metabolic syndrome prevalence was 46.3%. Systemic arterial pressure (BP) and waist circumference (WC) were identified with higher eigenvalues in the main components explaining 26.78% of the variance. The multiple regression analysis showed an inverse relationship between forced expiratory volume in the first second predicted (FEV1%) (β = -6.0, p = 0.03) and predicted forced vital capacity (FVC%) (β = -7, 02, p = 0.004) with the presence of MetS. PA (β = -8.50, p = 0.003) and WC (β = -0.24, p = 0.001) it presented an inverse relationship with FVC% when was adjusted for age, smoking history, menopausal BMI. CONCLUSIONS WC and PA were considered the parameters most related to MetS by principals components analysis. The diagnosis of MetS presented an inverse relation with the spirometrics parameters. Elevation of BP and WC were the predictors of the CFV% reduction.

Abstract
RATIONALE Obesity is a major risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea. Although greater dimensional changes in the upper airway during wake respiration have been noted in patients with apnea compared with control subjects, whether these differences remain in the presence of obesity is unknown. OBJECTIVES To evaluate upper airway anatomic characteristics and airway compliance (distensibility) in obese subjects with obstructive sleep apnea compared with obese control subjects. METHODS Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 157 obese subjects with apnea and 46 obese control subjects during wakefulness in the midsagittal and three axial upper airway regions (retropalatal, retroglossal, epiglottal). Differences in measurements between subjects with apnea and control subjects, and correlations with apnea-hypopnea index among subjects with apnea, were examined. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Measurements included airway areas and linear dimensions. Subject-specific coefficients of variation were calculated to examine variability in airway size. Controlling for covariates, the retropalatal area during respiration was significantly smaller in subjects with apnea than control subjects, based on the average (P = 0.003), maximum (P = 0.004), and minimum (P = 0.001) airway area. Airway narrowing was observed in anteroposterior and lateral dimensions (adjusted P < 0.05). Results were similar in an age, sex, and body mass index-matched subsample. There were significant correlations between apnea-hypopnea index and dynamic measures of airway caliber in the retropalatal and retroglossal regions among subjects with apnea. CONCLUSIONS Upper airway caliber during respiration was significantly narrower in obese subjects with apnea than obese control subjects in the retropalatal region. These findings provide further evidence that retropalatal airway narrowing plays an important role in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea in obese subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative hypoxemia is quite common in patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD) and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. However, there is no method to predict this potentially life-threatening complication. The study aimed to develop a regression model in patients with AAD to predict postoperative hypoxemia, and to validate it in an independent dataset. METHODS All patients diagnosed with AAD from December 2012 to December 2017 were retrospectively screened for potential eligibility. Preoperative and intraoperative variables were included for analysis. Logistic regression model was fit by using purposeful selection procedure. The original dataset was split into training and validating datasets by 4:1 ratio. Discrimination and calibration of the model was assessed in the validating dataset. A nomogram was drawn for clinical utility. RESULTS A total of 211 patients, involving 168 in non-hypoxemia and 43 in hypoxemia group, were included during the study period (incidence: 20.4%). Duration of mechanical ventilation (MV) was significantly longer in the hypoxemia than non-hypoxemia group (41(10.5140) vs. 12(3.75,70.25) hours; p = 0.002). There was no difference in the hospital mortality rate between the two groups. The purposeful selection procedure identified 8 variables including hematocrit (odds ratio [OR]: 0.89, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.80 to 0.98, p = 0.011), PaO2/FiO2 ratio (OR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.99 to 1.00, p = 0.011), white blood cell count (OR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.06 to 1.40, p = 0.008), body mass index (OR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.15 to 1.54; p = 0.000), Stanford type (OR: 0.22, 95% CI: 0.06 to 0.66; p = 0.011), pH (OR: 0.0002, 95% CI: 2*10- 8 to 0.74; p = 0.048), cardiopulmonary bypass time (OR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.98 to 1.00; p = 0.031) and age (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 0.99 to 1.08; p = 0.128) to be included in the model. In an independent dataset, the area under curve (AUC) of the prediction model was 0.869 (95% CI: 0.802 to 0.936). The calibration was good by visual inspection. CONCLUSIONS The study developed a model for the prediction of postoperative hypoxemia in patients undergoing operation for AAD. The model showed good discrimination and calibration in an independent dataset that was not used for model training.

Abstract
This work investigates whether genetic makeup moderates the effects of education on health. Low statistical power and endogenous measures of environment have been obstacles to the credible estimation of such gene-by-environment interactions. We overcome these obstacles by combining a natural experiment that generated variation in secondary education with polygenic scores for a quarter-million individuals. The additional schooling affected body size, lung function, and blood pressure in middle age. The improvements in body size and lung function were larger for individuals with high genetic predisposition to obesity. As a result, education reduced the gap in unhealthy body size between those in the top and bottom terciles of genetic risk of obesity from 20 to 6 percentage points.
