Background: Recently, the prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome has been increasing, so research on the correlation between obesity, metabolic syndrome, and lung function continues. However, results of earlier studies have not been consistent, and a definite correlation was not observed. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine the correlation between metabolic syndrome, obesity, and lung function.
Methods: This study included examinees who visited the Health Promotion Center of Bundang Jesaeng Hospital between July and December 2013. Subjects ranged from 20 to 60 years of age. Subjects who had cardiovascular, endocrine, or pulmonary diseases; malignancy; or a smoking history were excluded from this study. The definition of metabolic syndrome followed the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute criteria.
Results: We analyzed 1,345 subjects, and 130 (9.66%) were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. The metabolic syndrome group did not show significant differences in the forced expiratory volume in 1 seconds (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) compared to the normal group, but the difference for FEV1/FVC between groups was statistically significant (P=0.005). However, the mean FEV1/FVC was within the normal range and showed a minimal difference. The body mass index, waist circumference, and fasting glucose level were independent predictors of FVC, and the body fat percentage was an independent predictor of FEV1/FVC. The correlation between these variables was statistically significant, but this was not obvious on a scatter plot.
Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between metabolic syndrome, obesity, and lung function.
