Abstract

Background: Measuring peak expiratory flow rate has been suggested
as an important tool in asthma management by all international
guidelines.
Objective: Studies on various populations have shown considerable
variations in normal values of peak expiratory flow rate. Since reference
standards for Iranian children are not available, the present
study was performed to establish these standards.
Methods: This study was conducted on 1535 normal schoolchildren
(767 female, 768 male), aged 6-14 in Tehran. A mini Wright peak
flow meter was used to measure peak expiratory flow rates. The
highest of the three readings was taken as the correct value. Regression
analysis was used to calculate the predicted normal values of
peak expiratory flow rate and also to assess its relationship to age,
weight, height, and surface area.
Results: Peak expiratory flow rate values increased with age and
were in strong correlation with the studied anthropometric measurements.
Except for the 145-159 cm interval, the male children
showed significantly higher values (P<0.01) of peak expiratory flow
rate in comparison to female children.
Conclusion: The peak expiratory flow rates for Iranian schoolchildren
were similar to some of those reported from other countries and
could be used by Iranian physicians for proper management of paients.
