Prediction of peak expiratory flow rate from armspan in healthy children aged 8 to 12 years
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical Research - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) was measured in 400 normal healthy school going children in the age group of 8 to 12 years of Lucknow city. It was observed that there was a gradual, parallel progressive increase in the magnitude of arm span, a physical growth parameter and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) per year increase in age. A highly significant positive correlation exited between arm span and PEFR to predict PEFR from arm span multiple and partial Bivariate prediction equation was calculated.
