Relationship between Anthropometric Variables and Lung Function Parameters among Apparently Healthy Adults in a Nigerian University

Abstract

Background: Lung function reportedly differs between ethnic groups in infants, children and adults. More so, a reduction in lung function has health implications that go beyond diagnosable lung disease. As a result, it is imperative to understand the circumstances that can cause variations in lung function. This study investigated the relationship between anthropometric function parameters of adults and should be considered in the interpretation of lung values of apparently healthy individuals.
