[The biological age of the respiratory system].
A model of the biological age of the respiratory system is described. The following biological age determinants are used: vital lung capacity, maximal breathing capacity, mid-expiratory flow rate, oxygen consumption. They commonly meet the requirements of the biological age measurement tests as well as reflect main symptoms of the respiratory system ageing. The proposed model has been used to study the peculiarities of the respiratory system ageing in the Abkhasian population and to assess the effect of smoking on this process.
