Obesity based on patients’ ages. Clinical markers analyzed include walking distance, cardiac rate, respiratory rate, walking distance x weight and physiology cost index. In all cases, as follows: 1 = age between five and 11 years old/obese (13 patients); 2 = age between 11 and 17 years old/obese (16 patients); 3 = age between five and 11 years old/eutrophic (27 patients); 4 = age between 11 and 17 years old/eutrophic (29 patients). (A) Walking distance = 1 ≠ 3,4; 2 ≠ 3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2; 4 ≠ 1,2. Median: (1) 515.15; (2) 529.21; (3) 665; (4) 675. (B) Cardiac rate in six min = 1 ≠ 3,4; 2 ≠ 3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2; 4 ≠ 1,2. Median: (1) 118; (2) 120; (3) 135; (4) 130. (C) Respiratory rate in six min = 1 ≠ 2; 2 ≠ 1,3,4; 3 ≠ 2; 4 ≠ 2. Median: (1) 28; (2) 23; (3) 28; (4) 28. (D) Cardiac rate in nine min = 2 ≠ 3,4; 3 ≠ 2; 4 ≠ 2. Median: (1) 96; (2) 88; (3) 100; (4) 98. (E) Respiratory rate in nine min = 1 ≠ 3; 2 ≠ 3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2; 4 ≠ 2. Median: (1) 19; (2) 16.5; (3) 21; (4) 20. (F) Walking distance x weight = 1 ≠ 2,3; 2 ≠ 1,3,4; 3 ≠ 1,2,4; 4 ≠ 2,3. Median: (1) 29,044.85; (2) 46,741.59; (3) 20,160; (4) 31,500. (G) Physiology cost index = 1 ≠ 2,3; 2 ≠ 1,4; 3 ≠ 1,4; 4 ≠ 2,3. Median: (1) 0.21; (2) 0.38; (3) 0.42; (4) 0.32.
