The aim of this study was to compare immediate, daily and weekly variation in respiratory resistance measured by means of the forced oscillation technique (Rrs,FOT) to spirometric indices in 7-12 year old children with chronic respiratory symptoms. The lung function measurements were performed in 19 children on 4 days, i.e. two consecutive days during two consecutive weeks. On each day, the mea...
