Abstract

Pulmonary function tests were performed in 371 healthy men aged between 20 and 30 years. The following parameters were measured: slow vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and maximal midexpiratory flow rate (MMFR). From the maximal expiratory flow volume curve (MEFV-curve) peak expiratory flow (PEF) and flow rates at 75% FVC (MEF75), 50% FVC {MEF50) and 25% FVC (MEF25) were analysed. Airway resistance (RAW), and thoracic gas volume (ITGV) were also determined. The results of the study showed a positive correlation between the followed parameters of ventilatory function and height. The highest positive correlation concerned VC, FEV1 and ITGV. A negative correlation was found between lung function and age, with the exception of ITGV. A very poor correlation was found between independent variables and RAW values.
