Abstract:
From a cohort of 543 healthy children and adolescents, subjects were studied annually to obtain longitudinal data so that precise predictive values for lung volumes and flows from ages 8 to 19 years could be obtained. Strict guidelines for subject selection and pulmonary function testing were used. These data are presented in a readily usable form as equations, graphs, and tables.
