Résumé
Obesity is a global crisis due to its significant contribution to mortality and morbidity. This study discovered an association between body mass index (BMI) with pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and aerobic capacity (VO The study aimed to determine the effect of obesity on cardiopulmonary health of medical students. The study objectives were as follows: 1. To compare PFT parameters and VO BMI was calculated with the formula BMI = weight/height This study found a significant difference in forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 minute (FEV As BMI is inversely related to cardiopulmonary function, students having high BMI can be motivated toward a healthy lifestyle.
