Statistical models relating peak expiratory flow rates to age, height, and weight in men and women.

چکیده
An epidemiological survey of 1239 normal subjects without respiratory symptoms was undertaken in an urban locality of New Delhi in 1974. The subjects were divided into males aged under or over 22 and females under or over 17. Various statistical models were calculated to relate peak expiratory flow rate to the age, height, and weight of the subjects in each group. The linear model was simple, convenient, and adequately explained the variation in peak expiratory flow rate.

Peak Expiratory Flow Rate in Healthy Children from Tehran
Background: Measuring peak expiratory flow rate has been suggested as an important tool in asthma management by all international guidelines. Objective: Studies on various populations have shown considerable variations in normal values of peak expiratory flow rate. Since reference standards for Iranian children are not available, the present study was performed to establish these standards. Me...
متن کاملNormal measurement of peak expiratory Flow rate in the high school children in Babol, north of Iran
Background: Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) is recommended as a tool for control of asthma. The purpose of this study was to determine the normal value of PEFR in the healthy high school children in Babol, Iran. Methods: This study was conducted on 470 healthy high school children (285 girls, 185 boys with the age between 14-18 years). For the determination of PEFR we used Mini Wright Peak Flo...
متن کاملEthnic differences in peak expiratory flow rate in Birmingham factory workers.
Among 698 Birmingham factory workers, Asian men (n = 75) tended to have lower peak expiratory flow rates (PEFR) than black (n = 156) or white (n = 138) men when age, height and smoking habits were accounted for. This trend reached statistical significance in Asian females (n = 20), despite a small sample size. There were no significant differences in PEFR between blacks and whites of either sex.
متن کاملExercise induced bronchial lability: A comparison between normal men and women
The difference of bronchial lability that is bronchial hyper-reactivity between normal men and women is studied by standard exercise using Harvard steps. Preclinical medical students (M=30, F=30) with mean age of 18.64 years were assessed. Students included were nonsmokers & with no personal history of allergy or any respiratory disease. Parameters compared were age, sex, height, weight & PFTs....
متن کاملSpirometric lung function tests in normal non-smoking Ethiopian men and women.
Forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1, FEV1/FVC ratio (FEV1%), forced expiratory flow (FEF 200-1200), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) were measured in 143 male and 117 female healthy Ethiopians. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to correlate these indices with anthropometric variables. The results show that FVC, FEV1, and PEFR give significant regressions with age and height in both...
