3.2. Lung Function
Figure 1 shows the lung function parameters analyzed (Figure 1A and 1B, FVC; Figure 1C and 1D, FEV1; Figure 1E and F; FEV1/FVC; respectively absolute and % of predicted values) comparing non-asthmatic with asthmatic children. The results demonstrated that asthmatic children present impaired FEV1%pred. (p<0.0005) and FEV1/FVC (p<0.004) when compared with non-asthmatic children.
