Spirometric reference values in healthy, non-smoking, urban Pakistani population.
OBJECTIVE To estimate the lung function prediction equation and to calculate appropriate normal reference values for the Pakistani adults living in Karachi. METHODS Predicted equations for normal lung functions were derived from 504 healthy non-smoking subjects including 321 males and 183 females aged 15-65 years. The subjects underwent measurement of spirometric flow and volume. The followin...
متن کاملA physiologically based model for spirometric reference equations in adults.
A spirometric reference equation consists of a mathematical model with constants and coefficients optimized to fit a specific data set from healthy individuals. Commonly applied models are selected on statistical rather than physiological considerations. A predetermined model with constants and coefficients optimized to various populations would enable interpretable and interesting comparisons ...
متن کامل[New spirometric reference equations for healthy Chilean adults].
BACKGROUND To correctly interpret spirometric results, reference values should come from the same population. Current spirometric reference equations have been under scrutiny due to deficiencies to fit adequately for Chilean population, specially, for those aged over 65 years old. AIM To develop new spirometric reference values for Chilean adults, based on national studies in which spirometri...
متن کاملFood preparations used in weaning urban Bantu infants.
In South Africa, it is customary for Bantu mothers to feed their babies almost exclusively at the breast for from 6 to 9 months, and subsequently to feed them partly at the breast for a variable period, sometimes as long as 3 years. In urban centres, in contrast with'rural areas, the position differs somewhat, for Bantu women are often employed in domestic service or factories. When such women ...
متن کاملUrban planning, urban Management & Urban Air Pollution and solutions for solving it
In response to the facts that some Asian developing countries were experiencing the fastest rate of industrialisation and urbanisation, several international initiatives called for a better and ‘sustainable’ urban management. Development of management tools including strategic environmental assessment (SEA), life cycle assessment (LCA), cost benefit analysis (CBA), and environmental managemen...
