Intraindividual variation and effect of learning in lung function examinations. A population study.

S Groth, A Dirksen, H Dirksen

    Bulletin Europeen De Physiopathologie Respiratoire
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study found that while many factors influence lung function test results between individuals, the variation within a single person over time is minimal. This provides reliable reference values for intraindividual lung function variation.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Physiology
    • Biostatistics

    Background:

    • Understanding lung function variability is crucial for accurate clinical assessment.
    • Interindividual and intraindividual variations in lung function can be influenced by numerous factors.
    • Establishing reliable reference values for lung function is essential for longitudinal studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the impact of cooperation and instruction on inter- and intraindividual variations in normal lung function.
    • To establish reference values for intraindividual lung function variation.
    • To identify confounding factors affecting lung function measurements.

    Main Methods:

    • Spirometry, flow-volume curves, nitrogen washout, gas trapping, and transfer factor measurements were performed on 125 non-smokers.

  • Examinations were repeated 0.5-6 months later in 112 participants.
  • Statistical analysis was used to assess inter- and intraindividual variations and identify influencing factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Interindividual variation in lung function was significantly influenced by sex, age, height, and weight.
    • Factors like motivation, social status, and technician interaction had negligible effects on interindividual variation.
    • Intraindividual variation between repeated lung function tests was very small and unaffected by demographic, social, or procedural factors.

    Conclusions:

    • While interindividual lung function variability is influenced by multiple confounding factors, intraindividual variation is minimal and consistent.
    • The study provides valuable reference values for intraindividual lung function variation.
    • Lung function tests demonstrate high reliability for intraindividual assessments when confounding factors are considered for interindividual comparisons.
