Clinical trial
Respiratory Effects of Obesity in Children: Longitudinal Consequences After 6 Years of Aging
Invitation only · Not applicable · 1 countries · Registry ID NCT06447246
What this study is about
The purpose of the study is to re-examine body composition, respiratory function, exercise tolerance, and dyspnea on exertion (DOE) in children with obesity (CWO) and children without obesity (CWOO) who were originally studied as 8-12-year-olds between 2016-2023 (i.e., originally Tanner score ≤ 3; 90 participants; 26 CWOO \& 64 CWO).

Treatments and study arms
Primary outcomes
Pulmonary function is comprised of several physiological variables but this study will primarily measure Lung Volume: FRC (liters) and TLC (liters)
Exercise Tolerances is represented by several physiological variables but the primary variable is Maximal oxygen uptake (L/min and percent predicted)
Dyspnea on Exertion is represented using the Borg Scale which provides Ratings of Perceived Breathlessness (RPB) during constant load exercise cycling. The Borg Scale measures from 0-10, where 0 = no breathlessness and 10 = maximal breathlessness.
