Early Diagnosis of Respiratory Abnormalities in Asbestos-Exposed Workers by the Forced Oscillation Technique
Fig 4
Comparative analysis of the classical resistive parameters obtained from the control group and asbestos-exposed workers: Respiratory system resistance (R0; Figure A), mean resistance (Rm, Figure B), resistance in 4 Hz (R4; Figure C) and slope of respiratory resistance (S; Figure D).
The top and the bottom of the box plot represent the 25th- to 75th-percentile values, while the circle represents the mean value, and the bar across the box represents the 50th-percentile value. The whiskers outside the box represent the 10th-to 90th-percentile values.
