Sažetak

The relationship between body dimensions and lung functions (FVC and FEV1) was investigated in five selected population groups including a total of 735 subjects, 324 men and 411 women aged 30-55 years. Our results show that: a) the association of lung function indices FVC and FEV1 is better with standing than with sitting height in terms of correlation coefficients, b) among examined predictors of lung function indices, age, standing height and biacromial width are constant and significant in most of our selected groups. We conclude that it is well justified to take age, standing height and biacromial width as reference values in assessing lung functions.
