The present study was aimed to evaluate pulmonary function among the male and female young Kelantanese Malaysians of Kota Bharu, Malaysia, and to compare the data with other populations.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A total of 128 (64 males, 64 females) non-smoking healthy young subjects were randomly sampled for the study from the Kelantanese students\u2019 population of the University Sains Malaysia, Kota Bharu Campus, Kelantan, Malaysia. The study population (20-25 yr age group) had similar socio-economic background. Each subject filled up the ATS (1978) questionnaire to record their personal demographic data, health status and consent to participate in the study. Subjects with any history of pulmonary diseases were excluded from the study.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The pulmonary function measurements exhibited significantly higher values among males than the females. FEV<jats:sub>1%<\/jats:sub> did not show any significant inter-group variation probably because the parameter expresses FEV<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub> as a percentage of FVC. FVC and FEV<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub> exhibited significant correlations with body height and body mass among males whereas in the females exhibited significant correlation with body mass, body weight and also with age. FEV<jats:sub>1%<\/jats:sub> exhibited significant correlation with body height and body mass among males and with body height in females. FEF<jats:sub>25-75%<\/jats:sub> did not show any significant correlation except with body height among females. However, PEFR exhibited significant positive correlation with all the physical parameters except with age among the females. On the basis of the existence of significant correlation between different physical parameters and pulmonary function variables, simple and multiple regression norms have been computed.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Interpretation &amp; conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>From the present investigation it can be concluded that Kelantanese Malaysian youths have normal range of pulmonary function in both the sexes and the computed regression norms may be used to predict the pulmonary function values in the studied population.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/0971-5916.90990","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,20]],"date-time":"2011-12-20T06:42:36Z","timestamp":1324363356000},"page":"653-657","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Pulmonary function studies in young healthy Malaysians of Kelantan, Malaysia"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"134","author":[{"given":"Amit","family":"Bandyopadhyay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","reference":[{"key":"R1-12-20241212","first-page":"217","article-title":"Spirometric reference values from a Mediterranean population","volume":"22","author":"Roca","year":"1986","journal-title":"Bull Eur Physiopathol Resp"},{"key":"R2-12-20241212","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"329","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1475-097X.1988.tb00276.x","article-title":"Spirometry in healthy adult never-smokers","volume":"8","author":"Oxhoj","year":"1988","journal-title":"Clin Physiol"},{"key":"R3-12-20241212","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"511","DOI":"10.1164\/arrd.1985.131.4.511","article-title":"Distribution of forced expiratory volume in one second and forced vital capacity in healthy, white, adult never-smokers in six US cities","volume":"131","author":"Dockery","year":"1985","journal-title":"Am Rev Resp Dis"},{"key":"R5-12-20241212","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"365","DOI":"10.1080\/03014468800009841","article-title":"Pulmonary function studies in healthy non-smoking men of Calcutta","volume":"15","author":"Chatterjee","year":"1988","journal-title":"Ann Hum Biol"},{"key":"R6-12-20241212","first-page":"22","article-title":"Peak expiratory flow rate in female brick-field workers of West Bengal, India","volume":"18","author":"Bandyopadhyay","year":"2006","journal-title":"Ergonomics SA"},{"key":"R7-12-20241212","first-page":"128","article-title":"Pulmonary function studies in healthy Chinese adults in Singapore","volume":"104","author":"Da Costa","year":"1971","journal-title":"Am Rev Respir Dis"},{"key":"R8-12-20241212","first-page":"585","article-title":"Clinical spirometry in normal Bantu","volume":"97","author":"Johannsen","year":"1968","journal-title":"Am Rev Respir Dis"},{"key":"R9-12-20241212","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"252","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.93.02040352","article-title":"Spirometric reference values in Senegalese black adults","volume":"2","author":"Duf\u00e9tel","year":"1989","journal-title":"Eur Respir J"},{"key":"R10-12-20241212","first-page":"341","article-title":"Spirometric volumes in Malaysian males","volume":"25","author":"Singh","year":"1994","journal-title":"Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health"},{"key":"R11-12-20241212","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"407","DOI":"10.2170\/jjphysiol.42.407","article-title":"Spirometric volumes in Malaysian females","volume":"42","author":"Singh","year":"1992","journal-title":"Jpn J Physiol"},{"key":"R12-12-20241212","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"349","DOI":"10.1016\/0954-6111(94)90040-X","article-title":"Ethnic differences in normal spirometric lung function of Malaysian children","volume":"88","author":"Azizi","year":"1994","journal-title":"Respir Med"},{"key":"R13-12-20241212","first-page":"82","article-title":"Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) of Malaysian children","volume":"46","author":"Omar","year":"1991","journal-title":"Med J Malaysia"},{"key":"R14-12-20241212","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"797","DOI":"10.2170\/jjphysiol.41.797","article-title":"Pulmonary function studies in health school boys of West Bengal","volume":"41","author":"Chatterjee","year":"1991","journal-title":"Jpn J Physiol"},{"key":"R15-12-20241212","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"589","DOI":"10.1016\/S0197-2456(98)00037-3","article-title":"Power and sample size calculations for studies involving linear regression","volume":"19","author":"Dupont","year":"1998","journal-title":"Control Clin Trials"},{"key":"R17-12-20241212","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"863","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.1916.00080130010002","article-title":"Clinical calorimetry.
