  • Title: Reference values for FEV1 and FVC in male adolescents and young adults of Ibo origin.
    Author: Ele PU.
    Journal: East Afr Med J; 1992 Feb; 69(2):105-9. PubMed ID: 1505383.
    Abstract:
    Forced vital capacity (FVC) and one second forced expiratory volume (FEV1) were measured in 245 healthy Nigerian Ibo males aged 12-23 years. Analysis showed strong correlation between anthropometric factors (age, height, weight) and spirometric measurements (r----0.808-0.994). In the young adult group (18-23 years), FEV1 did not correlate so strongly with weight, however (r----0.654). Prediction equations, based on age and height have been developed for use among male Ibo adolescents and young adults.
