  • Title: [Reference values for FVC and FEV1 in healthy adult nonsmokers].
    Author: Smolej-Narancić N, Pavlović M.
    Journal: Lijec Vjesn; 1991; 113(3-4):55-62. PubMed ID: 1890915.
    Abstract:
    Reference values for FVC and FEV1 have been developed on a sample of 909 healthy adult nonsmokers, men and women, between the ages of 18 to 86 years. The examinees are the inhabitants of Korcula, Brac, Silba, Olib, Pag and the Peljesac peninsula. The lung function parameters were analysed as functions of height and age using full model multiple linear regression analysis. Comparisons with prediction equations for other equally selected populations indicated that even most commonly used equations in Yugoslav medical practice are inadequate for our data. Presently derived reference values are reliable and can be used in daily medical practice.
