“…On the other hand, a number of studies have associated postural changes, primarily forward head posture, to mouth breathing (2,3,4,26). In a study by Okuro et al (2), head posture was most affected by mouth breathing, acting as a satisfactory compensatory mechanism to maintain respiratory muscle strength, irrespective of breathing mode.…”

“…No reference value was found for the cervical lordosis angle; however, Yi et al (4) used this measure to assess the cervical spine and compare mouth and low rates in childhood. Moreover, postural changes occur continuously during the entire ontogenesis, with critical periods at school age and puberty (32,37).…”

“…In the side view, HAH (16) demonstrates the greatest forward head posture and lowest angles. Higher CL angles indicate more head posture, less cervical lordosis and high TK and LL values, as well as greater thoracic and lumbar lordosis (4). The increase in CD (12,17,18) can be interpreted as greater forward head posture and high LD (17,18) as greater lumbar lordosis.…”

“…Mouth breathing in childhood, commonly associated with pulmonary and postural changes, may be obstructive or functional in origin (1,2,3,4). Obstructive origins are more common and have multiple causes, such as nasal mucosal congestion secondary to allergic rhinitis, anatomical deformities of nasal cavities, nasal turbinate hypertrophy, adenoid hypertrophy and palatine tonsil hypertrophy (5,6,7).…”

Introduction: Mouth breathing can lead to changes in body posture and pulmonary function. However, the consequences are still inconclusive and a number of studies are controversial. Objective: Evaluate and correlate spirometric parameters and postural measures in mouth breathing children, and compare them to nose breathers. Methods: two groups of 6 to 12 year-old children were evaluated: mouth breathers (MB, n = 55) and nose breathers (NB, n = 45). Spirometry and body posture analysis using photogrammetry (SAPo 0.68® v) were carried out. The following spirometric measures were evaluated: peak expiratory low (PEF), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC ratio (%) and forced expiratory low between 25% and 75% of FVC (FEF 25-75%). Biophotogrammetric measures analyzed were: horizontal alignment of acromions (HAA) and anterior superior iliac spine (HAASIS), Charpy angle, horizontal alignment of the head (HAH), cervical lordosis (CL), thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL), cervical distance (CD) and lumbar distance (LD). Results: There were no intergroup differences in spirometric and postural variables. Positive and moderate correlations were found between CL and CD measures with PEF, FEV1, FVC and FEF 25-75%, while weak correlations were observed between lumbar lordosis and PEF, FEV1 and FVC. Conclusion: The breathing mode had no in luence on postural and respiratory measures. However, greater forward head posture, with smaller cervical lordosis, was related to higher lung volumes and lows in both groups.

“…Ao comparar respiradores bucais e nasais, Yi et al 4 observaram diferenças significantes entre os grupos e evidenciaram que o grupo dos respiradores bucais apresentou diminuição da lordose cervical, aumento da cifose torácica, aumento da lordose lombar e anteversão da posição da pelve e menor distância excursionada pelo músculo diafragma do lado direito e esquerdo.…”

Resumo:Objetivo: os problemas relacionados com a respiração bucal são vários e possuem diversas consequências na saúde humana. O estudo de coorte prospectiva se propõe a determinar os fatores de risco associados ao desenvolvimento da respiração bucal nos primeiros períodos do desenvolvimento infantil. Método: o grupo inicial constituiu-se por 86 bebês com idade de zero a três meses selecionados em áreas de abrangência do município de Vitória-ES. Realizaram-se sete visitas domiciliares, coletando-se dados sobre respiração bucal, mista, vedamento labial, alterações respiratórias intervisitas, estimulação da respiração nasal, ronco habitual ao dormir, uso de mamadeira, sucção de chupeta, sucção de dedo e aleitamento materno. A partir do grupo inicial, 67 crianças permaneceram em acompanhamento até a idade média de 29,42 meses (+ 2,49dp). Resultados: a prevalência de respiração bucal foi de 3,0%. O aleitamento materno (ORaj = 0,27 : 0,09 -0,83) e a estimulação da respiração nasal (ORaj = 0,09 : 0,01 -0,52) funcionam como fatores de proteção ao vedamento labial, enquanto a alteração respiratória intervisita (ORaj = 7,61 : 1,09 -53,01), sucção de chupeta (ORaj = 5,54 : 2,00 -15,37) e o ronco (ORaj = 10,74 : 2,(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)64) funcionam com fatores de risco. Conclusão: a gênese da respiração bucal inicia-se pela perda do vedamento labial, como conseqüência da interação de fatores positivos e negativos sobre o complexo neurológico, ósseo e muscular.Palavras-chave: respiração bucal; hábitos deletérios; vedamento labial; aleitamento materno.
