目的体重指数(BMI)增加是世界范围内一个日益严重的问题，它可以通过形态结构影响医疗条件。本研究的目的是在不同BMI百分位数的青少年受试者的矢状面上检查舌骨位置和咽部呼吸道尺寸。方法55例青少年患者按BMI百分位数分为正常体重组(16例)、超重组(20例)和肥胖组(19例)。在55张头颅侧位X线片上，共测量了13个线性和角度参数，包括头位角度、咽部呼吸道尺寸和舌骨位置。结果除1个舌骨测量值(RGN-H)外，各组间差异均无统计学意义。肥胖和超重青少年的RGN-H距离高于正常体重青少年。结论肥胖、超重和正常体重的青少年受试者可能具有相似的舌骨位置和咽部呼吸道尺寸。
Objective Increased body mass index (BMI) is a growing problem worldwide and can affect medical conditions through morphological structures. The purpose of this study was to examine the hyoid bone position and pharyngeal airway dimensions on the sagittal section in different BMI percentile adolescent subjects. Methods Fifty-five adolescent patients were subdivided into three groups, considering their BMI percentiles: Normal-weight (16 subjects), overweight (20 subjects), and obese (19 subjects). A total of 13 linear and angular parameters of head posture angle, pharyngeal airway dimensions, and hyoid bone positions were investigated on 55 lateral cephalometric radiographs. Results Except for one hyoid bone measurement (RGN-H), there was no significant difference among groups. The RGN-H distances of obese and overweight adolescent subjects were higher than normal-weight adolescent subjects. Conclusion Obese, overweight, and normal-weight adolescent subjects were likely to have similar hyoid bone position and pharyngeal airway dimensions.
