This study evaluated 323 participants for thoracic kyphosis and measured their lung function through spirometry tests. 130 participants (40.2%) were diagnosed with thoracic kyphosis. Those with kyphosis had lower lung volume and air flow as measured by FVC% and FEV1% compared to those without kyphosis. The lung function deficit was proportional to the severity of the kyphosis. The study concluded that kyphosis is associated with shortness of breath and restrictive or obstructive ventilatory dysfunction in the elderly.

5. MEASUREMENTS: Forced vital capacity
(FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1
second (FEV1), and prevalence of
obstructive and restrictive ventilatory
pattern.
RESULT:
One hundred thirty participants (40.2%) were
diagnosed with thoracic kyphosis. FVC% and
FEV1% were lower in the presence of kyphosis
their deficit was proportional to kyphosis
severity. kyphosis is associated with dyspnea
and ventilatory dysfunction of a restrictive and
an obstructive type. Kyphosis should be
included in the differential diagnosis of
dyspnea and ventilatory dysfunction in the
elderly.
PARTICIPANTS: A total of 323
nonheart failure participants
underwent clinical evaluation for the
presence of kyphosis and spirometry.
