| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The results of our first study revealed that 16% of 143 community-dwelling older adults had reduced cough capacity, and that the forced vital capacity and maximal inspiratory pressure were significant predictors for cough capacity. In our second study, 36 older adults were instructed to perform an improvement program for cough capacity at their home for a month. After the programs, cough capacity and maximal inspiratory muscle strength increased significantly, but no significant increase in cough capacity was observed after six months, although respiratory muscle strength and chest and abdominal wall mobility increased significantly after a year.
