    New lung function prediction formulas account for age and smoking. These models are valid for both smokers and non-smokers, offering improved accuracy over linear approaches.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Physiology
    • Respiratory Medicine
    • Biostatistics

    Background:

    • Accurate prediction formulas for lung function are crucial for diagnosing respiratory diseases.
    • Existing formulas often do not adequately account for the combined effects of aging and smoking on lung parameters.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop comprehensive prediction formulas for various static and dynamic lung function tests.
    • To evaluate the influence of age and smoking history on these lung function parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Measurements of total lung capacity, residual volume, airways resistance, lung compliance, and gas transfer were performed.
    • Flow-volume variables and spirometric indices were assessed in healthy men using air and helium/oxygen mixtures.
    • Regression analysis was employed to derive prediction equations, incorporating age and smoking variables.

    Main Results:

    • A single set of regression equations was developed, applicable to both smokers and never-smokers.
    • Nonlinear age coefficients significantly reduced variance in many lung function tests compared to linear models.
    • While aging impacted most tests more than smoking, heavy smoking had a greater effect on airways resistance, transfer factor, and phase III.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed prediction formulas effectively integrate age and smoking status for improved lung function assessment.
    • Nonlinear age effects are important for accurate lung function prediction.
    • Specific lung function parameters like airways resistance and transfer factor are notably affected by smoking, even when compared to aging effects.
