Obesity based on sex. The clinical markers analyzed included spirometry parameters. In all cases, as follows: 1 = female/obese (18 patients); 2 = male/obese (20 patients); 3 = female/eutrophic (21 patients); 4 = male/eutrophic (18 patients). (A) FEV₁/FVC = 1 ≠ 2,3,4; 2 ≠ 1,3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2; 4 ≠ 1,2. Median: (1) 91; (2) 86.50; (3) 100; (4) 97. (B) FEF₂₅% = 1 ≠ 2,3,4; 2 ≠ 1,3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2,4; 4 ≠ 1,2,3. Median: (1) 97.50; (2) 76; (3) 111; (4) 102. (C) FEF₅₀% = 1 ≠ 2,3; 2 ≠ 1,3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2; 4 ≠ 2. Median: (1) 87.50; (2) 68.50; (3) 105; (4) 94. (D) FEF₇₅% = 1 ≠ 2,3; 2 ≠ 1,3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2,4; 4 ≠ 2,3. Median: (1) 73.50; (2) 53.50; (3) 96; (4) 82. (E) FEF_25–75% = 1 ≠ 2,3,4; 2 ≠ 1,3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2,4; 4 ≠ 1,2,3. Median: (1) 95; (2) 73.50; (3) 122; (4) 107.50. (F) FEF maximum = 1 ≠ 2,3; 2 ≠ 1,3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2; 4 ≠ 2. Median: (1) 98.50; (2) 83; (3) 103; (4) 108.50.
