Abstract
Methods: We assessed the value of the TNR in the SCTs classified by an integrated diagnostic model. Included in the study were 1,346 individuals (701 males, 645 females) who participated in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES). The TNR was measured by active anterior rhinomanometry (AAR) at transnasal pressures of 100 and 150 Pascal (Pa). Results: The average TNR was 0.186± 0.004Pa/cm3/second at 100Pa in the Tae-eum (TE), 0.193± 0.007 in the So-eum (SE), and 0.208± 0.005 in the So-yang (SY) types. Under condition of 150Pa the TE types had a TNR value of 0.217± 0.004, the SE type was 0.230± 0.008, and the SY type was 0.243± 0.005. Higher values of TNR were more likely to be reported in the SY type at 100Pa and 150Pa. In the stratified analysis by sex, the SY type in males and females tended to have higher TNR value than the TE and SE types at transnasal pressure of both 100Pa and 150Pa. Conclusion: These results provide new approaches to understand the functional characteristics among the SCTs in terms of nasal physiology. Further studies are required to clarify contributing factors for such a difference. Contact: Dae Wui Yoon, 9286392a@hanmail.net
