“…The mean FVC values for all the ages and both the sex were found higher in the present study in comparison to the results of Deshpandy et al 7 , Rahman et al 8 , Chaterjee and Mandal 9 . Lower mean values were observed in these studies could be due to geographic and ethnic variations.…”

Background: The knowledge of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) is a basic requirement to understand the respiratory physiology for all medical physiologists and clinicians Pulmonary Function Tests provide objective evidence of nature and severity of lung disease. Objective: To observe FEV 1 , FVC, FEV 1 /FVC ratio in healthy male and female school children from 7-14 years of age in Western Rajasthan and to find out the relationship of FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC ratio with their height, weight, BSA and sex Methods: The present study was carried out on 112 male and 76 female children of 7-14 years. For Pulmonary Function Tests, FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC along with anthropometric data of each subject was recorded.. Data were analyzed by unpaired t test, Pearson correlation coefficient test, simple and multiple regression analysis. Results: FVC and FEV1 values were found significantly (p<0.001) higher in male than those of female. Significant positive correlation of FVC and FEV1 whereas non significant negative correlation of FEV1/FVC were observed with age, height, weight, body surface area in all children. Conclusion: As the weight, age, height and BSA of subjects increases, FEV1 and FVC increases while FEV1/FVC ratio decreases in both the sexes.

“…There is a considerable amount of data concerning the effects of race and ethnicity in LV and pulmonary function testing (32)(33)(34)(35), but little is known about the precise underlying physiological mechanisms. Predictive studies for North American and European populations found lower values in minorities such as blacks or Hispanics, but their lower socioeconomic and nutritional status are probably important confounding factors (4,7,21).…”

Static lung volume (LV) measurements have a number of clinical and research applications; however, no previous studies have provided reference values for such tests using a healthy sample of the adult Brazilian population. With this as our main purpose, we prospectively evaluated 100 non-smoking subjects (50 males and 50 females), 20 to 80 years old, randomly selected from more than 8,000 individuals. Gender-specific linear prediction equations were developed by multiple regression analysis with total lung capacity (TLC), functional residual capacity (FRC), residual volume (RV), RV/TLC ratio and inspiratory capacity (IC) as dependent variables, and with age, height, weight, lean body mass and indexes of physical fitness as independent ones. Simpler demographic and anthropometric variables were as useful as more complex measurements in predicting LV values, independent of gender and age (R 2 values ranging from 0.49 to 0.78, P<0.001). Interestingly, prediction equations from North American and European studies overestimated the LV at low volumes and underestimated them at high volumes (P<0.05). Our results, therefore, provide a more appropriate frame of reference to evaluate the normalcy of static lung volume values in Brazilian males and females aged 20 to 80 years.
