Abstract

<p>[Purpose] To clarify the relationship between spinal kyphosis and the parameters of respiratory function in older adults certified with long-term care insurance. [Participants and Methods] The subjects were 126 older adults (69 males and 57 females) receiving day-care rehabilitation. Their respiratory functions and muscle strength were measured. The correlations between the calculated kyphosis index and the measured values were assessed. [Results] The kyphosis index showed a significant negative correlation with forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1.0), ratio of FEV1.0 to FVC (%FEV1.0), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) in all subjects. The kyphosis index showed significant negative correlations with %FVC, FEV1.0, %FEV1.0, FEV1.0%, %FEV1.0%, PEFR, and %PEFR in male subjects, but the correlations were not significant in the female subjects. [Conclusion] This study showed that kyphosis adversely affects respiratory function, and that gender differences exist in this feature.</p>
