Maximal respiratory pressures at the mouth (PEmax and PImax) have been measured in 370 normal caucasian children and adults. Age, height, and weight were recorded for all subjects and incorporated in a stepwise multiple regression analysis to determine prediction equations for the maximal respiratory pressures in the children and adults for both sexes. In men PImax and PEmax were significantly correlated only with age (p less than 0.001 and less than 0.035 respectively), whereas in women they were correlated with height (p less than 0.035 and less than 0.03). In both boys and girls PImax was related to weight (p less than 0.0001 and less than 0.01 respectively) and PEmax to age (p less than 0.001 for both). The values for PImax and PEmax in adults were lower than in previously reported series, but in children the values obtained were similar to those reported for several smaller series.
已对370名正常白种儿童和成人测量了口腔处的最大呼吸压力（PEmax和PImax）。记录了所有受试者的年龄、身高和体重，并将其纳入逐步多元回归分析，以确定儿童和成人两性最大呼吸压力的预测方程。在男性中，PImax和PEmax仅与年龄显著相关（分别为p<0.001和<0.035），而在女性中，它们与身高相关（p<0.035和<0.03）。在男孩和女孩中，PImax均与体重相关（分别为p<0.0001和<0.01），PEmax均与年龄相关（两者均为p<0.001）。成人的PImax和PEmax值低于先前报道的系列，但儿童获得的值与几个较小系列报道的值相似。
