Abstract

A surveillance system on meningococcal meningitis was set up in an Italian region in 1984, to monitor the trend and distribution of the disease, to acquire bacteriological data, to evaluate control measures. Results of the first two years show no overall increase in the incidence of the disease, on the other hand an increased incidence in the 15-24 age group, a high fatality rate, a prevalence of serogroup C and serotype 2a and widespread resistance to sulfonamides were observed. Features characteristic of an epidemic period are thus present in the context of an endemic setting.

Abstract

The functional relationship of gender, anthropometric measures and respiratory condition in predicting respiratory function in children was explored, using data collected in a random sample survey in Central Italy (2,176 subjects). Regression equations for the logarithmic transformation of the functional data were obtained, using sex, ln(height), ln(body mass index) (BMI) and ln(age) as predicting variables. The fit of the model was better for forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) (R2 = 0.655, 0.603 and 0.312, respectively) than for maximal expiratory flows. Variables indicating the presence of respiratory conditions (recent respiratory infections, asthma, cough and/or phlegm) were forced in the models; only a marginal change in the predictions was observed. Data analysis while controlling for FVC, as a proxy for total lung capacity, revealed no substantial sex difference in airways; furthermore, airways size relative to lung size falls with increasing FVC in both sexes. In overweight subjects (BMI greater than 90th percentile) the relationship between height and lung volume was modified by sex, the coefficient for ln(height) being higher in girls and lower in boys. A comparison between equations from the present study and available reference data revealed that our population differs from standards derived from laboratory data and is more similar to those derived from population studies.
