About this study
Official title: Assessment of Lung Functions in Menopausal Obese Women After COVID 19 Recovery
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented considerable challenges to global health services and dictates almost every aspect of medical practice and policy. The menopausal transition may have significant consequences for respiratory health as COVID 19 symptoms subsides, lung function testing should be done to assess the consequences of this virus on lung health especially in menopausal woman.
Read the detailed description
The study group will consist of (40) obese menopausal women whom were recently recovered from mild-moderate COVID 19 for one month. The control group will consist of (40) obese menopausal women; whom will not affected by COVID 19. Using incentive spirometer, we will measure forced vital capacity FVC, forced expiratory volume FEV, Tiffano index TI and peak expiratory force PEF in both groups.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
SpirometryDevice
Spirometry assesses the integrated mechanical function of the lung, chest wall, respiratory muscles, and airways by measuring the total volume of air exhaled from a full lung (total lung capacity [TLC]) to maximal expiration (residual volume [RV]). This volume, the forced vital capacity (FVC) and the forced expiratory volume in the first second of the forceful exhalation (FEV1), should be repeatable to within 0.15 L upon repeat efforts in the same measurement unless the largest value for either parameter is less than 1 L. In this case, the expected repeatability is to within 0.1 L of the largest value.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Study group | The study group will consist of (20) obese menopausal women whom are recently recovered from mild-moderate COVID-19 after one month. Receives: Device: Spirometry | |
| Control group | The control group will consist of (20) obese menopausal women; whom are not be affected by COVID-19. Receives: Device: Spirometry |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1)
is a measurement of your ability to expel air from your lungs. More specifically, and as its name suggests, it is the amount that is exhaled in the first second of purposefully trying to breathe out as much air as possible.
Measured: FEV1 will be measured after 1 month post COVID19 recovery.
forced vital capacity (FVC)
is the total amount of air exhaled during the FEV test.
Measured: FVC will be measured after 1 month post COVID19 recovery.
FEV1/FVC ratio
The FEV1/FVC ratio, also called Tiffeneau-Pinelli index, is a calculated ratio used in the diagnosis of obstructive and restrictive lung disease. It represents the proportion of a person's vital capacity that they are able to expire in the first second of forced expiration to the full, forced vital capacity.
Measured: FEV1/FVC ratio will be measured after 1 month post COVID19 recovery.
