Journal Title: International Journal of Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The collect a substantial amount of data relating to physical fitness in elderly peoples and this findings may be helpful for cardiologist with maximum safety and minimum mortality and morbidity or clinicians in reaching the appropriate diagnosis. Breath holding time was performed on 110 healthy (84 male and 26 female) subjects aged 60 years and above. 49 subjects addict to either tobacco smoking or tobacco chewing and 61 were non-addict for tobacco. They were divided into 4 groups: Group I (60–64 years), Group II (65–69 years), Group III (70–74 years) and Group IV (75 years and above). In the (84) elderly male (60yrs above) the average breath holding time (BHT) was 28.20 ± 8.51/sec and the elderly non Addicts male (37) mean were 28.48 ± 7.20/sec and addict (Smoker and Chewer) 47 elderly male 28.06 ± 9.59/sec . The elderly (26) females (60 yrs above) mean were 26.11 ± 6.63 sec and non addict elderly female (14) mean 28.5 ± 8.28/sec and addict (12) elderly female (smoker and chewer ) mean 24.o7 ± 3.73/sec. Breath holding time shows a declining pattern with age in all the age groups of men, which is statistically significant (p < 0.5). However, in female although the breath holding time also shows an apparent declining pattern with age in all age groups but the relationship is statistically insignificant (p > 0.05).
