Abstract

Abstract


An inverse correlation between peripheral leucocyte count and various spirometric variables, i.e. vital capacity (V.C.), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced expiratory ratio (FEV1%), forced mid-expiratory flow rate (FEF 25% — 75% or MMFR), maximum ex­piratory flow rate (FEF.2—1 .2m1 or MEFR), was found among 60 smokers of various age groups when compared with matched controls. Results suggest that peripheral leucocyte count can be used as another determinant of lung function besides various spirometric variables used in routine assessment of lung function
