Core Tip	The impacts of age and a variety of anthropometric factors, including standing height, body weight, and fat fraction body mass, on decision of the spirometric parameters (SPs) differ significantly between non-adipotic adults [i.e., normal body mass index (BMI)] and adipotic adults (i.e., increased BMI). Therefore, if the reference means and lower limits of normal of SPs estimated from the regression equations established for non-adipotic adults are used, substantial errors will emerge while diagnosing the lung function abnormalities in adipotic adults.
