An appraisal on spirometry in three peak seasons in normal population

Debalina Sahoo, J. M. Harsoda

Abstract :

Background: Nowadays worldwide ecological changes are apparent. Intensification of global temperature effects on seasons, these changes may consequence on respiratory dynamics. Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluatethe effect of three peak seasons on pulmonary function. Materials and Method: This was a longitudinalstudy based on the seasons using result from Spirometry, questionnaires to investigate the participants’ respiratory system, sedentarism and smoking habit etc. Anthropometric parameter has been taken. All participants are performed spirometry. Spirometry values were tabulated with mean, median & Co–efficient of variation. Result: At spirometry assessment, based on the season were changed significantly. FVC (Forced vital capacity), FEV1 (forced 1–s expired volume) and PEFR (Peak Expiratory flow rate) FEV1 / FVC and FEF 25–75 values were increase in winter and decreases with increasing environmental temperature. Conclusion: Respiratory functions changes with seasons.
