Pulmonary function tests in school children. 1985

C D Aundhakar, and G J Kasliwal, and V S Yajurvedi, and M S Rawat, and S K Ganeriwal, and R N Sangam

Pulmonary Function tests were measured in 261 healthy boys and 254 healthy girls in the age group of 6 to 15 years with standard Benidects Roth type recording spirometer and Wrights Peak Flow Meter. The values of Pulmonary Functions were found to be increased with increase in age. For vital capacity this relation was curvilinear. All values were higher in boys than girls. There was significant positive correlation between pulmonary Function Tests Vital Capacity, (VC), Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MV), peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) and anthropometric parameters like height, weight and body surface area. Equations were formed for prediction of V.C., M.V.V. and PEFR values in relation to the height. The values of Pulmonary Functions were lower when compared with Western Standards, but were comparable with different Indian Studies.

D005541 Forced Expiratory Volume Measure of the maximum amount of air that can be expelled in a given number of seconds during a FORCED VITAL CAPACITY determination . It is usually given as FEV followed by a subscript indicating the number of seconds over which the measurement is made, although it is sometimes given as a percentage of forced vital capacity.

D000367 Age Factors Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.
