Abstract

This study aimed to assess the correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI), Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (MIP) and Vital Capacity (VC) of elementary school children aged 8-12 years old. A cross sectional study was conducted to measure BMI, MIP, and VC among children residing in Central Jakarta. Exclusion criteria included a history of surgery in the chest area, neuromuscular disease, and cardiorespiratory problems. 27 subjects, who were eligible for the study, were divided into two groups, classified as normal or abnormal BMI group. MIP and VC were measured by digital manometer and spirometer respectively. Data were analyzed by the T-test and Pearson test. The differences of MIP and VC value in the normal and abnormal BMI group was found tend to higher of MIP in normal BMI group, i.e. 75.71 + 12.83 and 70.55 +16.4, and higher of VC in normal BMI group, i.e. 1.69 ± 0.27 amd 1.91± 0.47(p=0.025). There was moderate positive correlated between BMI and VC (r= 0.652, p<0.001), in contrast between BMI and MIP (r= 0.352, P = 0.071). Children with normal BMI has higher VC, while the higher of BMI has correlation with the higher of VC.
