[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to find the influential factors of maximal-effort expiratory capacity of elderly women. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects of this study were 83 healthy elderly women. The study's methods and purpose were explained and these women agreed to participate. The maximal-effort expiratory capacity was measured using spirometry (Pony FX, COSMED Inc., Italy). We measured forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity, maximal expiratory flow 75%, maximal expiratory flow 50%, and maximal expiratory flow 25%. [Results] Regarding forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1 second, it was found that height and age were influential factors. Regarding forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity %, maximal expiratory flow 75%, maximal expiratory flow 50%, and maximal expiratory flow 25%, it was found that only age was an influential factor. [Conclusion] This study demonstrated that the most influential factors of maximal-effort expiratory capacity of elderly women were age, and the second influential factor was height. We noticed that weight was the least influential factor among them.
[目的]本研究旨在找出老年女性最大用力呼气量的影响因素。[对象与方法]本研究的对象为83名健康老年女性。向她们解释了研究的方法和目的,这些女性同意参与。使用肺量计(意大利COSMED公司的Pony FX)测量最大用力呼气量。我们测量了用力肺活量、第1秒用力呼气量、第1秒用力呼气量/用力肺活量、最大呼气流量75%、最大呼气流量50%和最大呼气流量25%。[结果]关于用力肺活量和第1秒用力呼气量,发现身高和年龄是影响因素。关于第1秒用力呼气量/用力肺活量百分比、最大呼气流量75%、最大呼气流量50%和最大呼气流量25%,发现只有年龄是影响因素。[结论]本研究表明,老年女性最大用力呼气量的最主要影响因素是年龄,其次是身高。我们注意到体重是其中影响最小的因素。
