La toux chronique du sujet âgé est associée à une limitation expiratoire des débits
چکیده انگلیسی
As chronic respiratory symptoms and the presence of expiratory flow limitation (EFL) are commonly reported in the elderly, we investigated whether they were associated in a population of 75 years old volunteers. We analyzed the results of a prevalence survey of chronic respiratory symptoms and respiratory infections, and performed spirometry and measured EFL after application of a negative expiratory pressure at the mouth (NEP). EFL was present in 170 (46%) subjects, a chronic cough in 49 (13%), chronic sputum in 58 (29%) and a history of respiratory infection in 62 (17%). Chronic cough and the composite outcome “chronic cough or sputum” were significantly associated with the presence of EFL (respectively 60% vs. 43%, OR = 2.04 [1.09 to 3.78], P = 0.023, and 56% vs. 43%, OR = 1.74 [1.05 to 2.87], P = 0.04), after controlling for smoking or airway obstruction. History of respiratory infections were not associated with an increased prevalence of EFL. We concluded that the presence of a LED could be an interesting indicator of respiratory aging. Its detection could be advocated in elderly subjects presenting with respiratory symptoms.
