From: Obesity can influence children’s and adolescents’ airway hyperresponsiveness differently
PD 20 values measured in underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese males, females (a), smokers, non-smokers (b), moderate to severe and borderline AHR (c), and in those aged≤13 and>13 years(d). Comparisons were made with Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney tests. §p = 0.024: obese non-smokers in comparison with overweight non-smokers; °p = 0.026: obese subjects aged > 13 years compared to overweight and normal weight adolescents (aged > 13 years); *p = 0.052: obese children (aged ≤ 13 years) compared to children aged ≤ 13 years with normal weight; #p = 0.019: obese children (aged ≤ 13 years) compared to obese adolescents (aged > 13 years). §p = 0.01.
