Abstract
The present study was undertaken to assess the pulmonary function status of bronchial asthma patients. The results are based on a sample of 403 asthma patients and 347 healthy subjects (control group) in the age range of 20-70+ years. To study pulmonary functions of asthmatic patients, spirometric evaluation of FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, have been recorded on each subject. The data have been subjected to statistical analysis viz. mean, standard deviation, standard error of mean and test of significance. All the pulmonary parameters in asthmatic patients showed significantly less observed values than the normal predicted values. The difference in the mean values of all the lung function parameters of bronchial asthma patients are lower as compared to normal healthy subjects with statistically significant differences in almost all the age groups.
