title: [Peculiarities of respiratory function in elderly patients with ulcerative colitis].
abstract: This article presents a comparative analysis of the frequency and types of violations of respiratory function (RF) in ulcerative colitis (UC) in 29 elderly patients and in 108 patients younger than 60 years. Pulmonary function was studied by spirometry and record the flow curve--forced expiratory volume ("Eton-1"). Prescribe a higher rate of airflow obstruction in older compared with patients younger than 60 years (from 65.5 and 39.8% respectively, p < 0.05), which increased with the duration of the disease Yak (in the elderly to a greater extent than in patients younger than 60 years), had no clear connection with the extent of inflammation in the intestine, while staying within 60-71.4% at any site of inflammation.
