Pulmonary functions in healthy adults--17-25 years old of Tirupati.
Pulmonary function tests (ERV, IC, VC, MVV FEV1% and MEFR) were studied on one hundred and sixty six subjects of either sex, age group ranging from 17 years to 25 years. ERV, IC, VC, MVV and MEFR values were found to be significantly higher in males than in females, whereas mean values of FEV1 were higher in females when compared to males, but the difference was not significant. In males, vital capacity with weight index could not be correlated.
