- Background Indonesia ranks fifth among countries with the highest aggregate levels of tobacco consumption in the world. It is estimated that more than 43 million children are living with smokers and are exposed to passive or environmental tobacco smoke. Infants and children exposed to ETS have increased rates of respiratory and ear infections, asthma and reduced lung function. The effects of tobacco smoke exposure on lung function in children are dependent on the source, timing and dose of exposure and may be modified by the sex of the child and the child’s asthma status. Objective To compare peak flow volume between passive with non passive smokers children and to define what factor that contribute to peak flow volume in passive smokers. Method A cross sectional study was conducted in Desa Telaga Jernih, Kecamatan Secanggang, Kabupaten Langkat, Provinsi Sumatera Utara during August 2009. Peak expiratory flow measured with mini-wright peak flow meter. Results One hundred seventy participants were eligible which consist of 100 passive smokers and 70 non passive smokers children. Distribution of age in both groups was almost the same, as well as the characteristics of weight and height of each group. There were significant difference of peak expiratory flow volume between passive and non passive smokers, 211.3 l/minute (SD 61.08) and 242.7 l/minute (SD 77.09) respectively (P < 0.005). No influence of time of exposure (P = 0.079) and amount of tobacco smoking (P = 0.098). Conclusion There was a significant difference of peak expiratory flow volume between passive and non passive smokers. No difference of peak expiratory flow volume in passive smoker children by time of exposure nor amount of tobacco smoking.
