Background: Spirometric parameters are influenced by several factors and many reference data are available in the literature. However, no spirometric data are available for children and adolescents from Central Asia. Aim: The study aimed to calculate spirometric reference curves on the basis of anthropometry, ethnicity (Kazakh vs. Russian) and living environment (urban vs. rural). Subjects and methods: Spirometry (FEV1, FVC and FEF25–75%) was performed and anthropometric measurements taken for…

Reference norms for evaluating maximum expiratory flow of children and adolescents of the Maule Region in Chile
TLDR
Biological age was more useful than chronological age for assessing MEF in both sexes and regional percentiles were created to diagnose and monitor the risk of asthma and the general expiratory status of paediatric populations.
Spirometry in Central Asian Lowlanders and Highlanders, a Population Based Study
Introduction: The purpose of the study was to establish spirometric reference values for a Central Asian population of highlanders and lowlanders. Methods: Spirometries from a population-based…
Development of reference equations for spirometry in japanese children aged 6–18 years
TLDR
The Japanese Society of Pediatric Pulmonology had organized a working group in 2006 to develop a new set of national standard reference equations for commonly used spirometric parameters that are applicable through the age range of 6–18 years.
Reference values for lung function: past, present and future
TLDR
While per cent predicted has historically been used to interpret lung function results, z-scores are more appropriate as they take into account the predicted value, as well as the between-subject variability of measurements.
Predictive models and spatial variations of vital capacity in healthy people from 6 to 84 years old in China based on geographical factors
TLDR
It was found that the correlation of VC and geographical factors in China was quite significant, especially for both males and females aged from 6 to 45, and the best models were built for different age groups.
Diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease with Special Reference to Over- and Underdiagnosis Using Spirometry
TLDR
The current definition of COPD is physiologically based on airway obstruction as measured by a spirometer, and it is estimated that the disease will become the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2020.

Spirometric reference values in Estonian schoolchildren.
TLDR
In comparison with recent data from European children the reference values were close for FVC, the differences were bigger for FEV1 and forced expiratory flows, especially in taller children.
Spirometric reference values in school children from Dalmatia.
TLDR
It is suggested that for calculation of ventilatory reference values in boys and girls the age and the standing height should be used.
Spirometric reference values for white European children and adolescents: Polgar revisited
TLDR
It is proposed that the approach of analyzing available data sets should be applied to other ventilatory indices, data collected in adults and elderly subjects, or in other ethnic groups, and that an international data base be set up to that end.
Spirometric reference values in a large Middle Eastern population
TLDR
Compared with USA Whites, adult Persians have minimally lower forced vital capacities, while the values for children are close to USA Whites and local reference values are more biologically and technically suitable for the interpretation of spirometric data from Iranian populations.
Lung function reference values in Chinese children and adolescents in Hong Kong. I. Spirometric values and comparison with other populations.
TLDR
The findings support the conclusion that exogenous factors may contribute significantly to the differences in lung function values among ethnic groups and that it is important to examine normative values of various populations for secular trends.
Influence of socioeconomic status on lung function and prediction equations in Indian children
TLDR
The results, before and after adjustment of physical characteristics, showed that anthropometry, body composition, and lung functions were significantly higher in HIG compared to MIG and LIG children, while in girls, no differences were observed in physical characteristics after adjustments.
Differences in spirometry reference values: a statistical comparison of a Mongolian and a Caucasian study.
TLDR
Average measured forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in one second in native Mongolians were within 1-2% of the Caucasian predicted values, and these small differences are not statistically significant in any of the multiple methods of comparisons.
Lung function reference values in Chinese children and adolescents in Hong Kong. II. Prediction equations for plethysmographic lung volumes.
TLDR
Analysis for the values of lung subdivisions including total lung capacity (TLC), residual volume (RV), and functional residual capacity (FRC) demonstrated that standing height and sitting height were the best predictors of lung volumes.
Comparison of pulmonary function between children living in rural and urban areas in northern Nigeria.
TLDR
The results show that the lung function of Nigerian children and adolescents living in either rural or urban areas were similar and compared favorably with African-American standards, and weight was as important as height in determining pulmonary function.
Lung function in white children aged 4 to 19 years: I--Spirometry.
TLDR
Puberty has a dramatic effect on lung function, and advanced puberty in younger children conferred a respiratory advantage, whilst delayed puberty resulted in the converse.
