Relationship between chest wall and pulmonary compliance and age

Abstract

Chest wall and pulmonary compliance were measured in 42 normal males aged 24—78 years. Measurements were made using the static method and the positive-pressure breathing method of Heaf and Prime. Chest wall compliance decreased significantly with age. Pulmonary compliance measured at functional residual capacity was similar in old and young subjects. As lung volume increased pulmonary compliance decreased more in the young than in the old. The latter age difference may result from a loss of lung elastic recoil in the elderly or may be due totally to the age difference in chest wall compliance. The observed age differences in lung compartment volumes can largely be accounted for by the decrease in chest wall compliance. aging; chest wall compliance; lung compliance; static measurement of compliance; positive-pressure measurement of compliance; lung volumes; residual volume Submitted on July 17, 1964

  • A reduction in elastic recoil of the lungs and changes in chest wall deformation give rise to increased functional residual capacity with age.

    “A reduction in elastic recoil of the lungs and changes in chest wall deformation give rise to increased functional residual capacity with age (7, 14, 17).”

  • Despite an age-associated reduction in elastic recoil, due to decreased respiratory strength and chest wall compliance, total lung capacity does not significantly change with age.

    “Despite an age-associated reduction in elastic recoil, due to decreased respiratory strength and chest wall compliance, total lung capacity does not significantly change with age (7, 12, 14, 19).”

  • Even in healthy persons, lung function declines starting at the age of 35.

    “It is well appreciated that, even in healthy persons, lung function declines starting at the age of 35.”

    From Aging and Lung Disease (2020) · cites this paper as [14]

  • There is an age-associated decline in the FEV1/FVC ratio.

    “Specifically, there is a decline in forced expiratory volume (FEV1) by approximately 30 mL/year and forced vital capacity (FVC) by approximately 20 mL/year, which results in an age-associated decline in the FEV1/FVC ratio (7, 12–14, 20, 21).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
