Abstract:
This cross-sectional study involved 339 students aged 12-15 at Sapa and Yen Binh regions. It measured and compared indexes such as vital capacity (VC), forced expiratory volume 1 (FEV1), and Tiffeneau index. Results: there weren’t significant differences between VC, FEV1 and Tiffeneau indexes of students in both sexes of 2 regions (p<0.05). There is a close correlation between VC and height of student (r>0.9), and between FEV1 and height (r>0.9)
