Clinical Implications of Having Reduced Mid Forced Expiratory Flow Rates (FEF25-75), Independently of FEV1, in Adult Patients with Asthma. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
INTRODUCTION:FEF25-75 is one of the standard results provided in spirometry reports; however, in adult asthmatics there is limited information on how this physiological measure relates to clinical or biological outcomes independently of the FEV1 or the ...

Sex differences in spirometric measures and its association with basal metabolic rate in obese and healthy normal weight middle-aged subjects

Indian Journal of Respiratory Care, 2022
Context: Reduced basal metabolic rates (BMRs) are said to be common in obese or sedentary adults. Very few investigations have analyzed the BMR relationship with that of respiratory functions in middle-aged obese individuals.

Peak flow rate in relation to forced expiratory volume in hemp workers [PDF]

Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1971
Žuskin, E., and Valic, F. (1971). Brit. J. industr. Med., 28, 159-163. Peak flow rate in relation to forced expiratory volume in hemp workers. Measurements of the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1·0 ) and the peak expiratory flow rate (PEF) were made in 99 non-smoking female hemp workers before and after the shift.
