An epidemiologic study was done on spontaneous pneumothorax in women. Six hundred sixty-four patients with spontaneous pneumothorax comprising 409 with idiopathic pneumothorax (61.6 percent), and 255 with secondary pneumothorax (38.4 percent) were studied. By age, idiopathic pneumothorax had its peak incidence in the 20s and secondary pneumothorax the 30s. Secondary pneumothorax included iatrogenic pneumothorax resulting from acupuncture treatment. The female patients were not so thin and tall as the male patients. The percentage of positive family history among the female patients was 4.42 percent in the idiopathic type and 0.45 percent in the secondary type. The percentage in the male idiopathic type of pneumothorax was 2.29 percent. Catamenial pneumothorax and pneumothorax with pulmonary hamartoangiomyomatosis are well known as specific in female subjects, but the cases are rare. Nonetheless, attention should be paid to female-specific rare types, for the etiology of idiopathic pneumothorax.

This is a report on a statistical study comparing the Kaup index and the level of tobacco consumption of patients with idiopathic spontaneous pneumothorax and those of healthy subjects. A statistically significant difference was found between the average Kaup index of the patients with idiopathic spontaneous pneumothorax and that of normal healthy individuals in Japan as published by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. A statistically significant difference was also found in the physical features between 2,433 males with idiopathic pneumothorax and 1,906 healthy males when compared by means of the Kaup index. Again, a statistically significant difference was noted in the level of tobacco consumption between the males with idiopathic pneumothorax and normal males when compared by means of the Brinkmann index. The Kaup index of idiopathic pneumothorax patients was lower than that of healthy subjects, while the level of tobacco consumption of the former was higher. Idiopathic spontaneous pneumothorax is related to thin and tall individuals and the level of tobacco consumption among such patients is higher than among healthy subjects.
