Abstract
We present new lung function reference values based on an investigation of 1024 healthy subjects aged 6-81 years. The dependent variables, i.e. VC, FEV1, RV, FRC, TLC, PEF, MEF50 and MEF25 are expressed as transcendent functions of age, body height and mass. A single equation covers the age range from 6 to 81 years and reflects certain phenomena such as growth, maturation, ageing, sex differences and the undermass-overmass effect. This allows a more accurate determination of individualized reference values and normal limits.
