title: Spirometric data in South Indian subjects 60-80 years of age.
abstract: Forced expiratory and inspiratory vital capacities and the timed expiratory and inspiratory volumes and forced expiratory and inspiratory flow rates were determined in 50 old men and women between 60-80 years of age. Some of the ratios between expiratory and inspiratory volumes and flow-rates that have been found to be useful for detecting some forms of ventilatory defects are also given.
