Abstract:
The values of vital capacity (VC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and Tiffeneau index (100xFEV1/VC) were determined in 14,234 examinees in the period 1977-1987. Examinations were performed using the Godart expirometer. After the statistical analysis of the results being performed, the unique table was made according to height and age of examinees. The examinees came from all regions of Yugoslavia. The results of the study can be used for establishment of standard values of pulmonary ventilation for candidates for aviation schools, i.e. for youngsters aging from 14 to 20 years.
