Abstract:
Epidemiological studies of Kraków citizens enabled to calculate spirometric predictive values of elderly subjects. The study group was composed of 341 males and 843 females, aged 65-89 years. In every subject anthropomorphic and spirometric (FVC, FEV1.0, FEV0.5) calculations were carried out. Using the multiple regression analysis predictive indices of normal spirometric values were calculated. Monograms were also made, allowing easy access to normal values.
