Obesity based on patients’ ages. The clinical markers analyzed included spirometry parameters. In all cases, as follows: 1 = age between five and 11 years old/obese (17 patients); 2 = age between 11 and 17 years old/obese (21 patients); 3 = age between five and 11 years old/eutrophic (20 patients); 4 = age between 11 and 17 years old/eutrophic (19 patients). (A) FEV1/FVC = 1 ≠ 3,4; 2 ≠ 3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2; 4 ≠ 1,2. Median: (1) 90; (2) 86; (3) 101; (4) 97. (B) FEF25% = 1 ≠ 3; 2 ≠ 3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2; 4 ≠ 2. Median: (1) 88; (2) 78; (3) 117; (4) 106. (C) FEF50% = 1 ≠ 3; 2 ≠ 3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2; 4 ≠ 2. Median: (1) 84; (2) 74; (3) 105; (4) 98. (D) FEF75% = 1 ≠ 3; 2 ≠ 3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2; 4 ≠ 2. Median: (1) 68; (2) 57; (3) 94; (4) 88. (E) FEF25–75% = 1 ≠ 3,4; 2 ≠ 3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2; 4 ≠ 1,2. Median: (1) 78; (2) 84; (3) 116; (4) 116. (F) FEF maximum = 1 ≠ 3; 2 ≠ 3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2,4; 4 ≠ 2,3. Median: (1) 88; (2) 78; (3) 117; (4) 106.
