INVESTIGATION OF SOME FACTORS AFFECTING PULMONARY FUNCTION IN MALE PATIENTS EXAMINATION AT 103 MILITARY HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: We investigated some factors affecting pulmonary function in male patients. Methods: a total of 45 male patients aged ranging from 20 to 48 years old with no history of pulmonary disease who were examined at 103 military hospitals were collected in the present study from February 2022 to May 2022. Pulmonary function was examined by Spirometry. Associations between spirometric indices and age, height, weight, BMI, or smoking status (yes/no) were analyzed by Pearson correlation or the Independent Samples T-Test. Results: the mean of FVC and FEV1 were 4.2 and 3.7 liters with the average Gaensler index was 88.2%. The mean of FEV3 and FEV6 was 4.1 liter and the mean of FEF 25-75%, FEF 200-1200, PEF were 4.5, 6.9, 7.7 liter/ sec respectively. The age was inversely and significantly correlated with Gaensler index, FEF25-75%. However, the weight was positively and significantly correlated with FVC, FEV1, FEV3, FEV6 and the height was positively and significantly correlated with FVC, FEV1, FEF 25-75% , FEV3, FEV6 , FEF 200-1200. The mean of Gaensler index, FEF 25-75%, FEF 25-75%, PEF in the group of smokers was significantly decreased as compared with the group of non-smokers. Conclusion: Age, height, weight and smoking status affected the pulmonary function of men aged from 18 to 48 years old.
