Abstract

Coughing is a mechanism for expelling foreign particles or excess mucus in the airway by increasinghigh expiratory pressure. When coughing, the respiratory muscles that control cough production are theinspiratory and expiratory muscles. Weakness of the expiratory muscle can affect to the ability to generatesufficient pressure to cough. In generally, a decrease in respiratory muscle’s strength can occur in patientswho have experience of prolonged immobilization, elderly people who suffer from sarcopenia, to strokepatients. The untrained healthy persons were not realizing the effects of their lifestyle which can reduce therectus abdominis muscle as an additional expiratory muscle. If it occurred in long time, it will reduce thelung function capacity of force expiratory volume (FEV1) and force vital capacity (FVC). The subjects ofthis study were 16 untrained healthy males with aged 18-40 years. Furthermore, they divided into 2 groups,the intervention group with Expiratory Muscle Trainer (EMT) training plus of Neuromuscular ElectricalStimulation (NMES) on the rectus abdominis muscle and the control group with exercise with ExpiratoryMuscle Trainer only. The outcome was measured for FEV1 and FVC by spirometry. The results of this studywere indicating an increase in FEV1 and FVC in each group however. The intervention group was increaseof FEV1 0.22+0.22 (p value=0.18) and the control group was 0.01+0.39 (p value=0.92). The interventiongroup was increase of FVC 0.50+0.48 (p value=0.02) and the control group was 0.32+0.51 (p value=0.12).The FEV1 results between the two groups were not significant difference (p value=0.21) and as well as FVCresults after 4 weeks of training. In summary, this study concluded that EMT training with NMES increasedFVC even though the difference between the two was not significant.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Proper nutrition is a very important factor in maintaining and promoting health and its role has been proven to be a determining factor in chronic diseases. To better understand the relationship between nutrition and diseases, it is best to consider nutrition as a diet and identify the factors associated with it. This study tended to determine the factors related to the dominant diets (demographic, social, economic, anthropometric and physical activity factors) in adults in Gonabad. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in 2019 on adults in Gonabad. The sampling method was random stratified. The instruments used in this study were the Food Frequency Questionnaire, the Baecke Physical Activity Questionnaire, and scale and measuring tape. Exploratory factor analysis was used to identify the dominant diets. Independent T-tests, analysis of variance, chi-square and multiple regression were used to determine the factors associated with diets. Data was analyzed using SPSS software version 14.5 (p<0.05).Results: The results showed a statistically significant relationship between unhealthy diet with age (p<0.001), gender (p=0.015), job (p=0.025), number of family members (p=0.038), income (p=0.001), waist circumference (p=0.013) and physical activity (p=0.002). These variables predict a total of 17.6% of variance in unhealthy diet. Moreover, there was a statistically significant relationship between healthy diet and age (p<0.001), number of family members (p=0.015), waist circumference (p<0.001) and physical activity (p=0.0288). These variables predict a total of 32.7% variance in healthy diet.Conclusion: In general, the results of this study show that demographic, social, economic, anthropometric and physical factors play an important role in determining the type of dominant diet.
