Effects of pelvic tilt angles and forced vital capacity in healthy individuals

Effects of pelvic tilt angles and forced vital capacity in healthy individuals

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pelvic tilt angles and lung function in participants performing pelvic tilts on a ball. [Subjects and Methods] Eighteen subjects participated in this study. While they performed pelvic tilt on sitting at a ball, the peak expiratory flow (PEF) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) were measured at 10 degrees of ante...

Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Vital Capacity in 1 Second (FEV1) of Apparently Healthy Non-smoker Adult Obese

Study of Forced Vital Capacity in Healthy School Children of Amritsar District, Punjab

The present study was undertaken on healthy school children in Amritsar district, which could serve as a basis for comparative evaluation in children during health as well as disease. The study was conducted among 800 school children (400 boys and 400 girls) of Amritsar district of Punjab, 6-15 years of age. They were categorized in 3 groups group A (6-9 years), group B (10-12 years), group C (...

Sources of variation in forced expiratory volume in one second and forced vital capacity.

Published prediction equations for lung function differ considerably, but the components of population variation responsible for the differences are unknown. Data were analysed for 6,323 never-smoking adults who did not report wheeze or asthma, from 42 centres participating in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey. Means and components of variance were estimated for males and females...

Association of Forced Vital Capacity with the Developmental Gene NCOR2

BACKGROUND Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is an important predictor of all-cause mortality in the absence of chronic respiratory conditions. Epidemiological evidence highlights the role of early life factors on adult FVC, pointing to environmental exposures and genes affecting lung development as risk factors for low FVC later in life. Although highly heritable, a small number of genes have been f...
