Prediction equations for spirometry in four‐ to six‐year‐old children
Objective: To generate prediction equations for spirometry in 4‐ to 6‐year‐old children. Methods: Forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 0.5 s, forced expiratory volume in one second, peak expiratory flow, and forced expiratory flow at 25–75%

Air pollution and airway resistance at age 8 years - the PIAMA birth cohort study. [PDF]
Air pollution has been found to adversely affect children's lung function. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s and forced vital capacity from spirometry have been studied most frequently, but measurements of airway resistance may provide additional ...

Prognostic implications of physiologic and radiographic changes in idiopathic interstitial pneumonia [PDF]
Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias are a diverse group of lung diseases with varied prognoses. We hypothesized that changes in physiologic and radiographic parameters would predict survival.

A Comparative Study to Evaluate the Effect of Crook Lying Position versus Sitting Position on Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) in Healthy Individuals [PDF]
Aim: To prove the effect of body position on the Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and to find out the better position amongst the sitting and crook lying position as both are considered to be the best respiratory positions as far as FVC is concerned, but ...

Forced Vital Capacity in Malaysian Females.
Spirometry was performed on 614 female subjects ranging in age from 13 to 69 years and comprising all the main races in Malaysia. They were divided into six age categories. Mean forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) were 2.51 +/- 0.02 and 2.31 +/- 0.02l, respectively.
