Forced expiratory indices in normal Libyan children aged 6-19 years.
Forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) were measured in 796 Libyan children (386 boys and 410 girls) with ages ranging from 6 to 19 years. Values in girls were significantly less than those in boys after allowance had been made for age and height. FVC and FEV1 correlated best with standing height but were also correlated with body weight. These results may...
متن کاملForced expiratory indices in normal Libyan men.
Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced expiratory ratio in the first second (FEV1% VC), forced expiratory flow between 200 and 1200 ml (FEF200-1200), and forced mid expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of FVC (FMF) were measured in 275 Libyan men ranging from 20 to 60 years. All values were lower with increasing age and, apart from FEV1% VC, were posit...
متن کاملChoroidal Thickness in 3001 Chinese Children Aged 6 to 19 Years Using Swept-Source OCT
The purpose of the cross-sectional study is to describe the values and distribution of choroidal thickness and to explore its related factors, especially age, in Chinese children. A total of 3001 Chinese school children aged 6 to 19 years underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examinations, including axial length and cycloplegic refraction. Choroidal thickness was measured by swept-source optical c...
متن کاملPerformance of forced expiratory manoeuvre in children.
The negative expiratory pressure (NEP) method has been previously used to assess the performance of forced vital capacity (FVC) manoeuvre in normal adults. The aim of the present study is to assess whether flow limitation is achieved during FVC manoeuvres in children aged 6-14 yrs. NEP (-10 cmH2O) was successfully applied in 177 normal children, the portion of FVC over which expiratory flow did...
متن کاملPeak expiratory flow rates in Libyan adolescents.
Peak expiratory flow rates of 578 Libyan boys and 527 Libyan girls aged 12 to 21 years were determined. The prediction formulae that best describe the data are as follows: Boys: PEFR = 160 X Stature 1.87 Girls: PEFR = 130 X Stature2.44 Statistically significant correlations were found between peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and standing height, sitting height, body mass index, body surface are...
