한국성인남녀의 노력성폐활량법의 정상치와 흡연이 이에 미치는 효과

Abstract

It is of an utmost importance that the normal values of the forced vital capacity(FVC) maneuver for Korean be established. This study was aimed to establish the normal values of the FVC meneuver for Korean young adults aged around 20 years and also to elucidate the effect of smoking on the maneuver. The FVC maneuver was performed by 93 healthy male and female college students in groups of smokers and nonsmokers using a spirometric computer, and FVC, ??, ??, FEV₁, FEV₁%, FEV₃, FEV₃%, PEF(peak inspiratory flow) were ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, and PIF(peak inspiratory flow) were measured. The conclusions derived from the results obtained are as follows: The male smokers showed lower values compared with the male non-smokers in all of the parameters, but there was no statistical significance. The female non-smokers showed significantly (p＜0.01) lower values compared with the male non-smokers in all parameters except ??, FEV₁%, and FEV₃%. Parameters which showed significantly(p＜0.01) positive correlations with the height, body weight or body surface area were FVC and FEV₃ in the male nonsmokers, FVC, ??, FEV₁, FEV₃ and ?? in the male smokers, and FEV, FEV₁, FEV₃, PEF and PIF in the female non-smokers.
