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 کاملMalnutrition and peak expiratory flow rate.
In order to assess the effects of malnutrition on the growth of lung function, 376 Indian schoolchildren aged 6-12 yrs were studied. Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) was measured with a Wright peak flow meter, and nutritional status assessed by calculation of the percentage predicted height for age (HFA) and weight for height (WFH) using Harvard standards. After standardizing for height and sex...
