Breathprints of childhood obesity: changes in volatile organic compounds in obese children compared with lean controls.


ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to investigate changes in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath in overweight/obese children compared with their lean counterparts.Single exhaled breath was collected and analyzed per protocol using selective ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS).Sixty overweight/obese children and 55 lean controls were included. Compared with the lean group, the obese group was significantly older (14.1?±?2.8 vs. 12.1?±?3.0 years), taller (164.8?±?10.9 vs. 153.3?±?17.1?cm) and more likely to be Caucasian (60% vs. 35.2%); P?
