High levels and gender difference of exhaled nitric oxide in Chinese schoolchildren

Background Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) may represent a useful noninvasive marker of airway inflammation, but data on the reference population values in schoolchildren are limited. No reference eNO study in Asian children has been published.
