Abstract

|
|
This study was undertaken to evaluate the physical conditions such as blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration rate vital capacity, maximal breathing capacity, maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure, gripping power and back muscle power, in prisoners who have detained in Taegu Prison for a prolonged period of time by comparing with the reported values in normal Koreans or athletes.
The results are summarized as follows :
1) Mean blood pressure with standard deviation in 268 prisoner are : systolic, 137.9±28.3 mmHg ; diastolic, 88.9±17.7mmHg. Pulse rates are : 66.8±9.31/min. Respiration rates are : 16.4±0.98/min.
2) In 71 prisoners, vital capacity is 4.48±0.56ℓ (BTPS) ; maximal breathing capacity, 124±1.5ℓ /min ; maximal inspiratory pressure, 94.2mmHg ; maximal expiratory pressure, 116.2mmHg.
3) In 155 prisoners, back muscle power is 133.1±23.1㎏ ; gripping power, average of right and left hand, 35.8±5.0㎏.
4) In 109 prisoners, index score of Harvard step-up test is 90.97±1.06.
5) The values of pulmonary function tests are generally lower than those of normal Koreans in carpenters, largely composed of long term prisoners, and prisoners engaging sedentary labor. The values of back muscle power and gripping power are slightly higher in prisoners engaging the ironwork, painting and painting, whereas lower in sedentary prisoners.
