Effects of obesity on pulmonary function considering the transition from obstructive to restrictive pattern from childhood to young adulthood. Obes Rev 2021; 22:e13327. [PMID: 34322972 DOI: 10.1111/obr.13327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2021] [Revised: 07/11/2021] [Accepted: 07/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Adults with obesity exhibit a restrictive pattern, whereas children with obesity exhibit an obstructive pattern. However, the transition process remains unclear. We performed a systematic search for studies reporting on body mass index and pulmonary function in children. The main outcomes were forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1 ), forced vital capacity (FVC), and their ratio (FEV1 /FVC). We compared individuals with overweight or with obesity with individuals with normal weight. Random-effects models were used to calculate pooled estimates. A total of 17 studies were included. Individuals with obesity had a lower FEV1 /FVC ratio (mean difference [MD] = -3.61%; 95% confidence interval [CI] = -4.58%, -2.64%) and a higher percent-predicted FVC (MD = 3.33%; 95% CI = 0.79%, 5.88%) than those with normal weight. Obesity impaired pulmonary function in the obstructive pattern during childhood to young adulthood, and the maximum obstruction was observed at the age of 16 years in boys and 20 years in girls. The effects attenuated at approximately 30 years and then shifted to the restrictive pattern after 35 years of age in men and 40 years in women. The effects of obesity on pulmonary function change from the obstructive pattern in childhood to the restrictive pattern in adulthood.

Abstract
PURPOSE In patients with suspected asthma and no airflow limitation in spirometry, methacholine challenge testing (MCT) for airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is an option of documenting variable airflow limitation. The goal of the study was to assess the ability of blood eosinophils, fractional concentration of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and distal airways function to discriminate patients with AHR from those with normal airway responsiveness (AR). METHODS We analyzed baseline data from 42 participants who underwent MCT because of asthma-like symptoms and no airflow limitation in spirometry. RESULTS Eosinophil count was higher among participants with borderline AHR comparing to those with normal AR (340 cells/µL, IQR 285-995 vs. 125 cells/µL, IQR 75-180, post-hoc p = 0.041). FeNO and percent predicted of functional residual volume (FRC%pred) were higher in participants with moderate-marked AHR compared to those with normal AR (40 ppb, IQR 30.5-100.5 vs. 18 ppb, IQR 13-50, post-hoc p = 0.008; 140.1%±17.0% vs. 107.3%±20.7%, post-hoc p < 0.001, respectively). Percentage predicted of the maximal expiratory flow at 25% of the forced vital capacity (MEF25%pred) was lower in participants with mild AHR and borderline AHR compared to those with normal AR (72.9%±16.9% vs. 113.0%±36.8%, post-hoc p = 0.017; 73.3%±15.9% vs. 113.0%±36.8%, post-hoc p = 0.045; respectively). Level of AHR correlated with eosinophil count, FeNO, MEF25%pred, forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of vital capacity (FEF25-75%pred), FRC%pred and specific airway resistance (sRaw). CONCLUSIONS Blood eosinophils, FeNO and small airways dysfunction markers are related to the level of AR to methacholine in patients with asthma-like symptoms and no airflow limitation in spirometry.

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
BACKGROUND There is conflicting evidence on the effect of obesity on lung function in adults and children with and without asthma. We aimed to evaluate the relation between overweight or obesity and lung function, and whether such relationship varies by age, sex, or asthma status. METHODS We searched PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane, and EMBASE for all studies (in English) reporting on obesity status (by body mass index) and lung function, from 2005 to 2017. Main outcomes were forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC, forced expiratory flow between 25th and 75th percentile of the forced vital capacity (FEF25-75), total lung capacity (TLC), residual volume (RV), and functional residual capacity (FRC). Random-effects models were used to calculate the pooled risk estimates; each study was weighed by the inverse effect size variance. For each outcome, we compared overweight or obese ("obese") subjects with those of normal weight. RESULTS All measures of lung function were decreased among obese subjects. Obese adults showed a pattern (lower FEV1, FVC, TLC, and RV) different from obese children (more pronounced FEV1/FVC deficit with unchanged FEV1 or FVC). There were also seemingly different patterns by asthma status, in that subjects without asthma had more marked decreases in FEV1, TLC, RV, and FRC than subjects with asthma. Subjects who were obese (as compared with overweight) had even further decreased FEV1, FVC, TLC, RV, and FRC. CONCLUSIONS Obesity is detrimental to lung function, but specific patterns differ between children and adults. Physicians should be aware of adverse effects of obesity on lung function, and weight control should be considered in the management of airway disease among the obese.

Abstract
Background Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are major causes of morbidity, mortality, and prolonged hospital stay in patients after surgery. Using effective strategies to prevent its occurrence is essential to improve outcome. However, despite various efforts, the incidence of PPCs remains elevated in high-risk patients. Anticholinergic inhalation is used to reduce high airway resistance and improve pulmonary function; it may be helpful to decrease the risk of PPCs. Penehyclidine is a long-acting anticholinergic agent which selectively blocks M1 and M3 receptors. We hypothesize that, in high-risk patients, prophylactic penehyclidine inhalation may decrease the incidence of PPCs. Methods This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with two parallel arms. A total of 864 patients at high risk of PPCs will be enrolled and randomized to receive prophylactic inhalation of either penehyclidine or placebo (water for injection). Study drug inhalation will be administered from the night (7 pm) before surgery until the second day after surgery, in an interval of every 12 hours. The primary outcome is the incidence of PPCs within 30 days after surgery. Secondary outcomes include the time to onset of PPCs (from end of surgery to first diagnosis of PPCs), the number of PPCs (indicates the number of diagnosed individual PPCs), the incidence of postoperative extrapulmonary complications, the length of stay in hospital after surgery, and the 30-day all-cause mortality. Discussion Results of the present study will provide evidence to guide clinical practice in using prophylactic inhalation of an anticholinergic to prevent PPCs in high-risk patients. Trial registration The study was registered prospectively in Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (www.chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR-IPC-15006603) on 14 May 2015 and retrospectively in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02644876) on 30 December 2015.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Dyspnoea in pulmonary embolism (PE) remains poorly characterized. Little is known about how to measure intensity or about the underlying mechanisms that may be related to ventilatory abnormalities, alveolar dead space ventilation or modulating factors such as psychological modulate. We hypothesized that dyspnoea would mainly be associated with pulmonary vascular obstruction and its pathophysiological consequences, while the sensory-affective domain of dyspnoea would be influenced by other factors. METHODS We undertook a prospective study of 90 consecutive non-obese patients (mean ± SD age: 49 ± 16 years, 41 women) without cardiorespiratory disease. All patients were hospitalized with symptoms for <15 days and a confirmed PE (multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) scan, n = 87 and high-probability ventilation/perfusion scan, n = 3). Patients underwent assessment of dyspnoea using the Borg score, modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale, assessment of psychological trait, state of anxiety and depression and chest pain via the Visual Analogical Scale at the time of maximum dyspnoea. Functional evaluations such as the quantitative ventilation-perfusion lung scan, echocardiography, alveolar dead space fraction and tidal ventilation measurements were completed within 48 h of admission. RESULTS Multivariate analyses demonstrated that dyspnoea was mainly linked to pulmonary vascular obstruction and/or its consequences such as raised pulmonary arterial pressure and chest pain. The sensory-affective domain of dyspnoea showed additional determinants such as age, depression and breathing variability. CONCLUSION Dyspnoea is mainly related to vascular consequences of PE such as increased pulmonary arterial pressure or chest pain. The sensory-affective domain of dyspnoea also correlates with age, depression and breathing variability.

Abstract
It has been hypothesized that hyperventilation disorders could be characterized by an abnormal ventilatory control leading to enhanced variability of resting ventilation. The variability of tidal volume (VT) often depicts a nonnormal distribution that can be described by the negative slope characterizing augmented breaths formed by the relationship between the probability density distribution of VT and VT on a log-log scale. The objectives of this study were to describe the variability of resting ventilation [coefficient of variation (CV) of VT and slope], the stability in respiratory control (loop, controller and plant gains characterizing ventilatory-chemoresponsiveness interactions) and the chaotic-like dynamics (embedding dimension, Kappa values characterizing complexity) of resting ventilation in patients with a well-defined dysfunctional breathing pattern characterized by air hunger and constantly decreased PaCO2 during a cardiopulmonary exercise test. Compared with 14 healthy subjects with similar anthropometrics, 23 patients with hyperventilation were characterized by increased variability of resting tidal ventilation (CV of VT median [interquartile]: 26% [19-35] vs. 36% [28–48], P = 0.020; slope: −6.63 [−7.65; −5.36] vs. −3.88 [−5.91; −2.66], P = 0.004) that was not related to increased chemical drive (loop gain: 0.051 [0.039–0.221] vs. 0.044 [0.012–0.087], P = 0.149) but that was related to an increased ventilatory complexity (Kappa values, P < 0.05). Plant gain was decreased in patients and correlated with complexity (with Kappa 5 − degree 5: Rho = −0.48, P = 0.006). In conclusion, well-defined patients suffering from hyperventilation disorder are characterized by increased variability of their resting ventilation due to increased ventilatory complexity with stable ventilatory-chemoresponsiveness interactions.

Abstract
Our objective was to assess whether obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients were characterised by a reduced central CO2 controller gain (CG) and an enhanced plant gain (PG). We matched three groups of women (n=10 per group) enrolled in a previous study (Essalhi et al., J. Asthma. 50: 565-572, 2013): obese women with a respiratory disturbance index (RDI)≥15/h and with a RDI<15, and lean women without OSA (RDI<5). Tidal ventilation recordings during wakefulness with end-tidal PCO2 monitoring allowed the assessment of loop gain (LG) and its components (PG and CG). LG were similar for the three groups (p=0.844) while both PG and CG depicted significant differences (p=0.046 and p=0.011, respectively). Obese women with OSA were characterised by an increased PG and a reduced CG as compared to obese women without OSA. A negative relationship between CG and RDI (rho=-0.46, p=0.008) was evidenced. In conclusion, OSA in women is associated with a reduced central CO2 controller gain and an enhanced plant gain.

Abstract
Background ATS/ERS Task Force has highlighted that special attention must be paid when FEV1 and FVC are concomitantly decreased (<5th percentile) and the FEV1/FVC ratio is normal (>5th percentile) because a possible cause of this non specific pattern (NSP) is collapse of small airways with normal TLC measured by body plethysmography (>5th percentile). Our objectives were to determine the main lung diseases associated with this pattern recorded prospectively in a lung function testing (LFT) unit, the prevalence of this pattern in our LFT and among the diseases identified, and its development. Methods Observational study of routinely collected data selected from our Clinical Database Warehouse. Results The prevalence of NSP was 841/12 775 tests (6.6%, 95% CI: 6.2 to 7.0%). NSP was mainly associated with seven lung diseases: asthma (prevalence of NSP among asthmatics: 12.6%), COPD/emphysema (prevalence 8.6%), bronchiectasis (12.8%), sarcoidosis (10.7%), interstitial pneumonia (4.0%), pulmonary hypertension (8.9%) and bilateral lung transplantation for cystic fibrosis (36.0%). LFT measurements were described in 185 patients with NSP and indisputable nonoverlapping causes. A moderate defect (FEV1: 66 ± 9% predicted) with mild lung hyperinflation (FRC: 111 ± 27%, RV: 131 ± 33% predicted: suggesting distal airway obstruction) was evidenced whatever the underlying cause. A long term stability of NSP was evidenced in 130/185 patients (70% 95% CI: 64 to 77%). Conclusions NSP is observed in asthma, COPD/emphysema, bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial pneumonia and after bilateral lung transplantation and remains stable in the majority of patients.

This anatomy can be described by only two parameters, the tracheal cross-sectional area and the homothety ratio, which describes the reduction of calibre at each subsequent generation. Thus, we hypothesized that the tracheal area would be linked to the risk of asthma presence. Tracheal area (measured by acoustic reflexion method) and airway responsiveness to metacholine (expressed as Dose Response Slope) were evaluated in 71 consecutive adult patients with nasal polyposis and normal baseline lung function. Hyperresponsiveness was evidenced in 30/71 patients (42%), and 20/71 patients (28%) were asthmatics. Forced expiratory flows were related to tracheal areas (mean value: 3.22±1.32cm(2)). In a logistic multivariate analysis, tracheal area and the degree of responsiveness were independent predictors of asthma. In conclusion, this study suggests that airway anatomy, crudely assessed by tracheal section, is an independent determinant of asthma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Obesity has been associated with a lesser degree of asthma control that may be biased by other comorbidities. The objectives of this cross-sectional study were to describe resting and activity-related dyspnea complaints according to the presence of obesity-related comorbidities (asymptomatic airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB)). We hypothesized that obese women can exhibit both resting and activity-related dyspnea, independently of the presence of asthma. METHODS Severely obese (body mass index (BMI) > 35 kg m(-2)) women prospectively underwent description of resting and activity-related dyspnea (verbal descriptors and Medical Research Council (MRC) scale), pulmonary function testing (spirometry, absolute lung volumes, and methacholine challenge test), oesogastro-duodenal fibroscopy, and overnight polygraphy. Thirty healthy lean women without airway hyperresponsiveness were enrolled. RESULTS Resting dyspnea complaints were significantly more prevalent in obesity (prevalence 41%) than in healthy lean women (prevalence 3%). Chest tightness and the need for deep inspirations were independently associated with both asthma and GERD while wheezing and cough were related to asthma only in obese women. Activity-related dyspnea was very prevalent (MRC score > 1, 75%), associated with obesity, with the exception of wheezing on exertion due to asthma. Asymptomatic AHR and SDB did not affect dyspneic complaints. CONCLUSIONS In severely obese women referred for bariatric surgery, resting dyspnea complaints are observed in association with asthma or GERD, while activity-related dyspnea was mainly related to obesity only. Consequently, asthma does not explain all respiratory complaints of obese women.
