• Definition. Respiratory rate (also known as
  ventilation rate, respiration rate, breathing
  rate, pulmonary ventilation rate, breathing
  frequency, and respiratory frequency or Rf) the
  number of breaths a person takes during one
  minute. It is usually measured at rest while
  sitting.
• Medical research suggests that respiration
  rate is the marker of pulmonary dysfunction.
  Patients breathe more often at rest in advance of
  a large number of chronic health conditions. This
  website has scientific references related to
  increased respiratory rates for adults with
  cancer patients, cystic fibrosis, heart disease,
  asthma, diabetes, COPD and many other conditions.

What is the normal respiratory Rate?

• Medical textbooks suggest that the
  normal respiratory rate for adults is only 12
  breaths per minute at rest. Older textbooks often
  provide even smaller values (e.g., 8-10 breaths
  per minute). Most modern adults breathe much
  faster (about 15-20 breaths per minute) than
  their normal breathing frequency.
• The respiratory rates in the sick persons are
  usually higher, generally about 20 breaths/min or
  more. This site quotes numerous studies that
  testify that respiratory rates in terminally sick
  people with cancer, HIV-AIDS, cystic fibrosis and
  other conditions is usually over 30 breaths/min.

What are the effects of increased respiratory
rates?

• When we breathe more than the medical norm, we
  lose CO2 and reduce body oxygenation due to
  vasoconstriction and the suppressed Bohr effect
  caused by hypocapnia (CO2 deficiency). Hence,
  over breathing leads to reduced cell oxygenation,
  while slower and easier breathing (with lower
  respiratory rates) improves cell-oxygen content.

Groups of children Their ages Normal respiration rates
Newborns and infants Up to 6 months old 30-60 breaths/min
Infants 6 to 12 months old 24-30 breaths/min
Toddlers and children 1 to 5 years old 20-30 breaths/min
Children 6 to 12 years 12-20 breaths/min

• More about respiratory frequency and body
  oxygenation
• From a physiological viewpoint, the body-oxygen
  test is a more meaningful and important DIY test,
  than ones breathing frequency. If you have less
  than 20 s of oxygen in the morning (when you wake
  up), you are likely to have health problems.
• Ideal Respiration Rate
• The ideal respiration frequency at rest for
  maximum possible brain- and body-oxygen levels
  corresponds to the automatic or unconscious
  breathing with only X breaths/min (find out this
  exact number X in the bonus content).
