Nasal parameters before work (measuring round 1) for men and women (sum of right and left side values)
| Men | Women | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean† | SD† | Range | Mean† | SD† | Range | |
| *p<0.05 men v women, independent sample t test; †Amin was normally distributed, consequently the mean (SD) was calculated arithmetically. The other parameters were log normally distributed, consequently the means (SDs) were calculated geometrically. | ||||||
| Amin=minimum cross sectional area; A3.3=cross sectional area at 3.3; A4.1=cross sectional area at 4.1 cm; vol0–5=volume of the nasal cavity 0–5 cm; vol2–5=volume of the nasal cavity 2–5 cm; vol0–7=volume of the nasal cavity 0–7 cm from the nostrils among 149 men and 26 women. | ||||||
