Factors for the Variability of Three Acceptable Maximal Expiratory Flow–Volume Curves in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [PDF]
International Journal of COPD, 2021 Background Generally, the maximal expiratory flow–volume (MEFV) curve must be measured for the diagnosis and staging of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Quantifying the shape of maximal expiratory flow-volume curves in healthy humans and asthmatic patients [PDF]
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2015 Differences in the absolute flow and volume of maximal expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curves have been studied extensively in health and disease. However, the shapes of MEFV curves have received less attention.

Maximal expiratory flow-volume curves in Londoners aged 60 years and over. [PDF]
Thorax, 1987 To obtain more accurate information about respiratory function in the elderly, we carried out spirometry and constructed maximum expiratory flow-volume curves in 136 volunteers over the age of 60 years (90 women, 46 men). Significant age related differences were found.
