“…Due to these underlying sex differences, it is plausible that the effects of disease on PFTPs will also differ. These differences may also be related to other internal or external factors as previously documented in the published literature [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][26][27][28][29]. However, it was beyond the scope of this current study to explore other potential factors contributing to sex differences in PFTPs in our study patients.…”

Background Studies assessing normative values and sex differences in pulmonary function test parameters (PFTPs) among Indigenous populations are sparse. Methods PFTPs were compared between male and female Indigenous Australian adults with and without chest radiologically proven chronic airway diseases (CADs). Results 485 adults (56% were female) with no significant difference in age, body mass index or smoking status between sexes were included. Females displayed a higher prevalence of radiology without CADs compared to males (66 vs. 52%, respectively). Among patients without CADs, after adjustment for age, stature and smoking, males displayed significantly higher absolute values of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) (mean difference, 0.41L (0.21,0.62), p<0.001) and Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) (mean difference 0.27L (0.07,0.47), p<0.001), with no significant difference in FEV1/FVC ratio (mean difference -0.02 (-0.06, 0.02), p = 0.174). Male and female patients with radiologically proven CADs demonstrated lower FEV1/FVC values. However, compared to females, males showed significantly greater reductions in pre- [-0.53 (-0.74, -0.32) vs. -0.29 (-0.42, -0.16), p = 0.045] and post- [-0.51 (-0.72, -0.3) vs. -0.27 (-0.39, -0.14), p = 0.049] bronchodilator FEV1. Conclusions There are significant sex differences in the PFTPs among Indigenous Australians. Recognising these differences may be of value in the accurate diagnosis, management, monitoring and prognostication of CADs in this population.

“…This appears clearly especially in women with a reduced FVC since 89.6% of them had never smoked” [ 1 ]. The high frequency of women with a reduced FVC could be related to the impacts of parity ( ie ; the number of offspring a woman has borne) on lung [ 3 ]. On the one hand, contrary to high-income countries such as North American/European ones, parity is a particular topic in low- and lower-middle-income countries such as African ones [ 4 ].…”

“…On the other hand, in the literature, the association between parity and health consequences is discussed in terms of “selection pressure” [ 5 ]. The respiratory system could be influenced by parity [ 3 ]. Above all, it is the respiratory system who endure the repercussions of the numerous physio-pathological experiences of the woman life [ 3 ].…”

The investigation of the link between reduced forced vital capacity (FVC) and risk factors and health variables in women aged ≥ 40 years is encouraged since a reduced FVC was related to all-cause mortality. The high frequency of women with a reduced FVC, observed in some studies, could be related to the impacts of parity on lung. In the literature, the association between parity and health consequences is discussed in terms of “selection pressure”, and the trade-off between longevity and fertility described by scientists is termed the “longevity determination” or “biological warranty period”. The respiratory system could be influenced by parity. Above all, it is the respiratory system, who endures the repercussions of the numerous physio-pathological experiences of the woman life. The probable effects of parity on lung function data, including FVC, make parity a key predictor to be stressed and evaluated. Parity is a promising original direction for physiological and pathophysiological research, particularly for low- and lower-middle- income countries. Thus, upcoming epidemiological and clinical studies of lung function data in women would need to include information about their parity status.
