Peak expiratory flow rate of Nepalese children and young adults.
INTRODUCTION In diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases, the assessment of lung functions is of considerable importance. So, normal reference values for pulmonary function tests of any population need to be assessed. OBJECTIVE An attempt has been made in the present study to measure the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) in healthy Nepalese children and young adults. MATERIAL AND METH...
متن کاملEffects of age and body mass index on peak-expiratory flow rate in Indian population.
Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) is a measure of ventilatory capacity measured by peak flow meter. It is regarded as a basic physiological parameter for the diagnosis, follow up and treatment of patients with respiratory illnesses such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. This study establishes the relationship of PEFR with age and BMI in healthy adult males (N=300) of Kumaon region of...
متن کاملPeak 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 کاملPeak expiratory flow rate in healthy Pakistani adults.
Peak expiratory flow rates (PEFRs) were measured in 424 healthy subjects (213 males and 211 females) from Karachi and Rawalpindi regions of Pakistan. The mean age, height and peak expiratory flow rate for males were 32.82 ± 10.52 yr, 163.5 ± 5.4 cm and 478.6 ± 63.2l/min respectively. The corresponding values for females were 35.54 ± 6.98 yr, 157.34 ± 8.2cm and 422.5 ± 42.6 l/min respectively. B...
متن کاملStudy the Effect of Body Mass Index [ Bmi ] On Peak Expiratory Flow Rate [ Pefr ] In 20 - 30 Years Age Group
Background: Obesity is an increased body weight caused by excessive accumulation of fat cells measured as body mass index [BMI].. Peak expiratory flow rate refers to the maximum flow rate achieved during a single forced expiration. Objective: To study the effect of body mass index on peak expiratory flow rate in 20 -30 years age group. Materials and Methods : The place of a study was done in te...
