Aging effect on oxygen consumption of respiratory muscles in humans

The first purpose of the present study was to develop a new method to examine oxygen consumption of respiratory muscles (VO2resp) in human subjects. The apparatus consists of an expandable dead space and a respirometer. When the dead space was increased at a constant rate (approximately 100 ml/min), minute ventilation (VE) and VO2resp increased gradually. Because the logarithm of VO2 was found to be approximately linearly related to VE, we characterized this relationship by the slope (logVO2/VE) and the intercept at VE = 0 (VO2met) of the semilog regression line. The second purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between VO2resp and aging. Six anthropometric and spirometric factors (age, height, weight, vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, and body surface area) were analyzed in 37 normal subjects by simple and stepwise multiple regression analyses. We found a significant increase in logVO2/VE and a significant decrease in VO2met with age. In conclusion, 1) the present method is convenient to use, and we are able to study VO2resp over a wide range of ventilation without voluntary effort, and 2) age per se is one of the factors accounting for the observed increase in VO2resp with age.
