Abstract

A group of 270 young men aged 16–25 years including healthy nonsmokers, healthy smokers, and bronchial asthma patients with and without spirometry-confirmed bronchial obstruction was tested. The forced expiratory noise time recorded on the trachea in a frequency band of 200–2000 Hz, the spirometry indices, and the anthropometric parameters were measured. It was shown that the forced expiratory tracheal noise time and its ratios to the squared chest circumference, to the body mass, and to the height reflected bronchial resistance and are promising indices for diagnosing bronchial obstruction.
