Abstract:
This is a study of the ventilatory function (FEF2575, FEF50, PEF) by dry spirometer Vitalograph in 1,566 children of both sexes with ages ranging from 7 to 14 years; 1,156 children (73.6%) were selected as reference population. Height was the biometric parameter with the greatest correlation to the functional variables studied in both sexes, except to PEF in females. Significant differences were observed in functional variables between male and female subjects. Multiple and simple linear regression equations and percentiles tables for each sex are presented.

Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
PFTs involve using a spirometer, a...
