Hello students, the question asked is if you were to model the asthma in terms of dependent and independent variables, how would you characterize it? will that be consistent with the clinical diagnosis or not? so the independent and dependent variables, first let's learn what independent variables mean.
00:42
Independent variables in case of asthma means that they increase or contribute towards the development and severity of asthma, while the dependent variables tell us the impact of asthma on lung function and overall respiratory health.
01:09
The independent variables are here which contribute towards the development and severity of asthma, lower airway conductance, airway resistance, bronchial hyper -responsiveness, inflammation in the airways and environmental pollutants.
01:30
So all these independent variables contribute towards the severity of asthma, while the dependent variables are forced expiry volume in one second, peak expiratory flow rate and oxygen saturation.
01:47
And these dependent variables impact, these dependent variables reflect the impact of asthma on lung function and overall respiratory health.
02:03
As we know that asthma is a chronic lung function characterized by inflammation and narrowing of airways which leads to the symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, etc.
02:21
And this characterization of asthma is consistent with the clinical diagnosis.
02:28
Another question asked is if you were to model the asthma in terms of independent variables and will this characterization be consistent with the clinical diagnosis...
