Core Tip	We herein present an overview of the existing studies regarding the influence of excess weight on static and dynamic volumes of lung function in ot­herwise healthy children and adolescents. Although the existing data, are to some extent, conflicting, it seems that in this age group, obesity is correlated to a significant, though not necessarily clinically important, decrease of forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity ratio and a reduction of functional residual capacity. These observations are of clinical relevance, as they may be the origin of respiratory problems in adulthood, especially if obesity persists till then.
