Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome of the study is to establish the correlation of Katiparinah (waist circumference in angula) and Body Adiposity Index with pulmonary function test in obese and normal weight children. The findings may help in the early screening of children through katiparinah and BAI who are at risk of reduced lung function due to excess body fat, allowing timely interventions to improve respiratory health. The outcome will be assessed at the end of the completion of registration of samplesTimepoint: Not applicable, as the study is observational and result will be assessed at the end of study after completion of registration of all the samples. | — |
