Dr. N. S. V. M. Prabhakara Rao

Abstract :

 Pulmonary function tests are a oad range of tests that measure how well the lungs take in and exhale air and how efficiently they transfer oxygen into the blood. Aims and Objectives:To compare the differences of pulmonary function between Normal and Malnourished children. Materials and Methods: The number of fifty children, attending Pediatrics Outpatients‘ Department of Mahavir Institute of Medical Sciences, Vikarabad, in the age group of 7 to 14 years were randomly selected. They were divided into three groups of 7-9, 9-12, and 12-14 completed years. Results: Both FVC (r = 0.22, p <0.02) and FEV1 (r = 0.24, p <0.02) showed direct linear correlation with body weight. %FEV1/FVC was not different in healthy and> malnourished children in 7-9 and 9-11 years age group.
