| Popis: | In the present work one hundred and eighty healthy school children of either sex in the age group of 8 to 10 yr were studied for pulmonary functions and compared with other investigators. The values of pulmonary functions were found increased with increase in age. However all the values were higher in boys than girls. Higher values of pulmonary functions were reported by western investigators thismight be because of more height in the same age group and socioeconomic status. It was also observed in the present study that significant positive correlation exists between pulmonary functions (FVC, FEV1 and PEFR) and anthropometric parameters like height, weight and upper segment of the body. |
