Introduction: Obesity and its related pulmonary morbidities have become global epidemic. Association between altered pulmonary functions and its relation with distribution of fat percentage in the body is analysed in our study. Material and Methods: Inclusion Criteria : Male subjects in the age group of 35-45 years with BMI between 18.5-30 kg/m2. Exclusion Criteria: Diabetics, hypertensives, a lcoholics, smokers and subjects with any other recent illness. BC 601 TANITA Bioimpedence analyser was used to measure visceral fat and subcutaneous fat. PEFR (Peak expiratory flow rate) was measured using Wrights peak expiratory flow meter. BMI was calculated from height and weight of the subjects. Results: Pearson correlation was applied. PEFR showed significant negative correlation with visceral fat and subcutaneous fat with r value of -0.576 and 0.409 respectively. PEFR showed only mild negative correlation with BMI with r value 0.203 when compared to regional fat. Conclusion: Visceral fat and subcutaneous fat remains a better predictor than BMI in assessing the obesity related morbidity of lung functions. © 2019 Published by Innovative Publication.
