The relationship between child overweight/obesity and respiratory muscle strength and lung function considering sex, age, and maturity offset status
Overweight/obesity was associated with higher inspiratory muscle strength and related to %MEP. This relationship was influenced by the covariates of age, sex, and maturity compensation status, indicating that anthropometric variables need to be considered in future studies.
