Quality of life, forced expiratory volume in one second and body mass index in patients with COPD, during therapy for controlling the disease.
(Full text is available at http://www.manu.edu.mk/prilozi). Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are characterized by an impaired lung function and limited exercise tolerance. Medication and rehabilitation programmes are generally directed towards relief of symptoms and improvement of lung function and exercise tolerance. 130 patients were included in the examination with ...
متن کاملRelationship between serum vitamin D and forced expiratory volume in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Background: Vitamin D deficiency seems to be associated with pulmonary function deterioration. The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between serum vitamin D and forced expiratory volume in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: From September 2011 to April 2012 eighty consecutive patients with COPD presented to an outpatient clinic of Babo...
متن کاملEffort and the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV).
1. The relationship between volumes expired and the maximum intrathoracic pressures developed within the first second of expiration was examined in a group of healthy subjects and patients with airways obstruction who exhaled with varying degrees of effort. 2. The body plethysmographic method was used to ensure that expirations started from total lung capacity. 3. Three different types of volum...
متن کاملBody Mass Index-Dependent Ventilatory Parameters From Respiratory Inductive Plethysmography During 6-Minute Walk Test.
BACKGROUND Walking is part of obesity management. Assessment of ventilatory impairments and consequences for gait induced by obesity could be clinically helpful. We aimed to develop a method to accurately monitor ventilation with respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) in subjects with high body mass indices (BMIs) during a 6-min walk test (6MWT). METHODS 25 volunteers were divided into 2...
متن کاملForced expiratory volume in one second: why dichotomise?
Numerous epidemiological surveys have tried to evaluate the effects of exposures relevant to pulmonary disease.' A number of studies have analysed forced expiratory volume in one second (FEVI) using linear regression analysis, thus enabling adjustment for age, height, and sex as well as potential confounding variables. Within the last few years, studies analysing dichotomous FEV, variables with...
