AB  - Introduction The prevalence of morbid obesity has substantially increased and is a major public-health problem.Aims and Objectives The study aim was to compare PFT and SDB in morbidly obese children and adults.Methods We retrospectively included all patients with non-syndromic severe obesityreferred to our hospital for PFT and polysomnography (PSG), from 2010 to 2014. Severe obesity was defined as having a BMI ≥ 120% of the 95th percentile in children (AHA Scientific Statement) and a BMI ≥ 40.00 in adults (WHO Classification). Collected data were demographic, PFT and PSG data.Results 74 children and 70 adults were included. All results are reported in table 1.
