The phrase "average lung function" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in medical or health-related contexts to describe the typical performance of lungs in a population or individual.
Example: "The study found that participants with asthma had lower than average lung function compared to healthy individuals."
Alternatives: "typical lung function" or "normal lung function.".
The observed difference between genotype subgroups with regard to ΔPM10 effects on average lung function decline ranged between 11 mL/year and 21 mL/year for FEF25 75.
A graphic depiction of average lung function decline is shown in Figure 2 for each of the three exercise groups, showing that those reporting exercise do have higher lung function at earlier ages with a decreased decline in adulthood.
To estimate modification of the ΔPM10 effect on average lung function decline by genotype, we introduced interaction terms between ΔPM10 and genotypes into the above-described covariate-adjusted mixed linear models independently for each SNP.
The average baseline lung function of patients was around 60%% predicted FEV1.
We obtained effect estimates for the association between ΔPM10 and average annual lung function decline in genotype subgroups by creating genotype- specific PM10 exposures variables that we introduced into separate covariate-adjusted mixed linear models.
Average changes in lung function ranged from −0.1 liters (low-traffic post-ride FEF25-75%) to +0.24 liters (high-traffic 4-hour FEF25-75%), but all changes in lung function measurements were clinically insignificant, and none of the paired t-tests (by subject) for low-traffic and high-traffic lung function changes had significant p-values.
Although the findings were statistically significant, the degree of improvement among the Cytoxan group was modest — an average of 3percentt in lung function — and the patient dropout rate was high.
Although Cincinnati Children's is still not among the top-performing hospitals in treating cystic fibrosis, it has made significant strides, according to national data that now puts it solidly above average in measures like lung function or nutritional status.
Results The women in lower occupational classes who had never smoked were on average shorter and had poorer lung function and higher systolic blood pressure than women in the higher occupational classes.
More recently, we presented evidence from the same population-based cohort [Swiss Cohort Study on Air Pollution and Lung and Heart Diseases in Adults (SAPALDIA)] that decreasing exposure to airborne PM attenuated the average age-related decline in lung function.
Women in lower occupational classes were on average shorter and had poorer lung function, higher systolic blood pressure, and a higher body mass index than women from the other occupational classes.
