Background: PEF is a reasonably good measure of ventilatory function. It varies with various anthropometric parameters, geographical location of the subjects as well as various disease processes. Objective: To assess the relationship between PEF and certain selected anthropometric parameters and to devise prediction equation based upon these parameters. Materials and Methods: Three hundred heal...

Measurement of peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) is required for effective asthma treatment, but ethnic differences affect the application of prediction equations for lung function. PEFR was measured in a representative sample of 1000 students in Nablus, Palestine. Predicted PEFR equations for Europeans and Iranians were applied to both males and females in age groups < 21 and > or = 21 years. T...

The aim of this study was to look at differences in countermovement jump (CMJ) performance and selected kinetic parameters in athletes of different training backgrounds and to examine the relationships between these parameters. The subjects were 14 endurance athletes, 12 sprinters, and 13 fire-fighter aspirants (controls); each performed two CMJ on a force plate. The best jump of two attempts w...

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.

Lung function tests were performed on apparently healthy, non-smoking male volunteers aged 16-50 years normally staying in Varanasi city area. The volunteers were divided into five groups according to their age (16-19 yr, 20-25 yr, 26-30 yr, 31-35 yr, 40-50 yr). Anthropometric determinants (height and weight) and respiratory performance (vital capacity and peak expiratory flow rate) were record...

BACKGROUND According to current knowledge, asthma is basically an inflammatory process. Its causes and physiopathological mechanisms are various. The final result is a recurrent obstructive bronchial process, with sibilants and/or dypnea, which causes an upset in functional respiratory tests, among which the maximum respiratory peak flow meter diminished for the age, sex, and height of patient....

Methods We used SMS to collect symptoms and peak flow (PEF) meter readings from children with asthma. Digital PEF meters enabled data download to confirm validity of PEF data sent by SMS. Parents responded to 5 SMS messages daily for 7 days during baseline and for 14 days during a cold. Parents provided written feedback about the SMS-based data collection at the beginning (Q1) and at the end (Q...

BACKGROUND A hospital based, community service asthma education programme for adults to improve asthma knowledge, promote compliance with medication, and reduce morbidity was evaluated. METHODS The programme was evaluated using a randomised experimental and control group design with repeated measurements over 12 months. A volunteer community sample of 192 respondents was recruited of whom 116...

Nurses administering aerosolized pentamidine (AP) were studied to determine any effect AP may be having on their health. Exposure was determined by each nurse's self-report of treatment given as recorded in a daily log and personal and area pentamidine sampling. Outcome measures were self-reported symptoms recorded in a daily log and peak expiratory flow rates (PEFR) and cross-shift and cross-w...
