Abstract

OBJECTIVE The maximum phonation time (MPT) is used to assess simple respiratory functions and can be performed anywhere without special instruments. We investigated the association between MPT and respiration, considering the future utilization of simple respiratory assessments during home-based physical therapy. METHOD This cross-sectional study included 140 older adults enrolled in Japanese long-term care insurance (77 men, 63 women; mean age, 77.9±8.0 years). The participants performed the MPT, followed by spirometry. We analyzed the MPT of the three age groups, relative reliability of the MPT values, and the association between MPT and respiratory function. RESULTS We found that the MPT of older men requiring long-term care or support was related to age. The intraclass correlation coefficient of MPT was >0.8 for all groups. Only forced vital capacity was associated with MPT in the partial correlation and multiple regression analyses. CONCLUSION MPT could be an alternative assessment of respiratory function in home-based physical therapy for older adults requiring long-term care or support.

对于需要长期护理/支持的老年人，最大发声时间是一个有用的评估。

目的最大发声时间(MPT)用于评估简单呼吸功能，可在任何地方进行，无需特殊仪器。我们调查了MPT和呼吸之间的关系，考虑到未来在家庭物理治疗中使用简单的呼吸评估。方法本横断面研究纳入了140名参加日本长期护理保险的老年人(男性77人，女性63人;平均年龄77.9±8.0岁)。参与者进行MPT，然后进行肺活量测定。我们分析了三个年龄组的MPT、MPT值的相对可靠性以及MPT与呼吸功能之间的关系。结果我们发现需要长期护理或支持的老年男性的MPT与年龄有关。各组MPT的类内相关系数均为bb0 0.8。在偏相关和多元回归分析中，只有肺活量与MPT相关。结论mpt可作为家庭物理治疗中需要长期护理或支持的老年人呼吸功能评估的替代方法。
