Spirometric Studies of Ventilatory Capacity in Elderly People

Abstract: Abstract. Dynamic lung function tests have been studied in apparently healthy men and women, who in essential respects may be considered as representative of the total population within the age range concerned. The results are compared with some previously reported “normal values”. Certain not unimportant differences exist in spite of essentially identical methods. It seems probable that these differences are due mainly to differences in the composition of the series compared; in previous investigations the s… Show more

“…1 and 2 illustrate the importance of body weight for FRC and FRC/TLC, the two functions for which body weight was found to have the greatest importance in our series. In a previous paper (2) we presented data concerning ventilatory capacity. These values were obtained from determinations carried out in the year 1961.…”

“…Nur wenige Studien berichten von Lungenfunktionsuntersuchungen an einer größeren Anzahl von älteren Probanden. Ericsson [29] untersuchte 264 ältere Probanden, die jedoch jünger als 71 Jahre waren. Fowler [30] untersuchte 182 Londoner, die älter als 60 Jahre alt waren (44 älter als 75 Jahre und 23 älter als 80 Jahre).…”

“…The aim of the investigation presented below was to study, in elderly apparently healthy men and women, the effect of five years' ageing on the ventilatory capacity and physical work capacity. The subjects of this study-who constituted a representative sample of the population of Uppsala urban district within the age range in questionwere included in the series which formed the basis of previous studies on normal values of ventilatory capacity, lung volumes and physical work capacity (3,4).…”
