Limitations and strengths of the study. As a limitation, this study lacks generalizability for subgroups of the population depending on sex. In the experimental group, we had more female subjects than male subjects, and the size of the group did not allow statistical analysis by subgroups due to the high risk of inflating the overall type I statistical error rate []. Another limitation of the study was that subjects were not specifically screened for diabetes/prediabetes, electrolyte imbalances, or blood lipid profiles. Finally, in this research, we used the ECG as a widely available and cheap method for clinical investigation in obese individuals. It should be noted that for such cases, the method has low sensitivity and specificity []. The study also had some notable strengths. One of these was the assessment, through a novel and simple screening design, of body composition and the electrical activity of the heart. Our results, in accordance with the opinions of most researchers, add further arguments for the existence of the association between BFP and electrical ventricular activity in healthy young adults. Another strength was the new, proven relationship between BFP and ECG interval ratios. The possibility of identifying the population at risk for ventricular impairments through a portable BIA device is also a remarkable strength of this research.5. Conclusions, Changes in body composition such as the accumulation of adipose tissue and the onset of obesity have potentially harmful effects on the cardiovascular system. Moreover, BFP is an excellent predictor of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) [21] and cardiovascular risk, better than BMI [22]., We hypothesised that (1) a higher BMI is associated with a higher FEF 25–75 /FVC ratio and (2) that the FEF 25–75 /FVC ratio, as a possible functional correlate of the physiological effects of obesity, modulates the risk for COPD exacerbations and death..
