Values of Correlation Coefficients Between Pulmonary Function Measurements and Physical Parameters in Young Muslim Males of Kolkata, India.
| Pulmonary function measurements | Group | Age (years) | Body height (cm) | Body mass (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VC (L) | C | .67*** | .89*** | .27 |
| E | .68*** | .80*** | .18 | |
| FVC (L) | C | .60*** | .86*** | .26 |
| E | .62*** | .80*** | .23 | |
| FEV1 (L) | C | .65*** | .88*** | .33* |
| E | .64*** | .83*** | .32* | |
| FEV1% (%) | C | .44** | .55*** | .33* |
| E | .41** | .58*** | .36* | |
| PEFR (L/min) | C | .31* | .70*** | .25 |
| E | .54*** | .85*** | .17 |
Note. VC = vital capacity; FVC = forced vital capacity; FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FEV1% = FEV1 as a percentage of FVC; PEFR = peak expiratory flow rate; C = control group; E = experimental group.
