Fig. 2From: Influence of gender on diaphragm thickness using a method for determining intima media thickness in healthy young adultsCorrelation between the change ratio of diaphragm thickness and other measures in males and females. Measures included % forced vital capacity, maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) or maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) for males (a, c, e), and females (b, d, f). There was a significant positive correlation between the change ratio of diaphragm thickness and % forced vital capacity or respiratory mouth pressures in males, but not in femalesBack to article page
