    This study determined the V2/V1 parameter from flow-volume loops in 1,169 healthy individuals to estimate unequal ventilation. Reference values and prediction equations for V2/V1 are now available for clinical use.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Physiology
    • Respiratory Medicine

    Context:

    • Assessing lung function is crucial for diagnosing respiratory diseases.
    • Unequal ventilation can be an early indicator of pulmonary dysfunction.
    • Standardized reference values are needed for accurate interpretation of spirometry data.

    Purpose:

    • To establish reference values for the V2/V1 parameter derived from the flow-volume loop.
    • To develop prediction equations for the V2/V1 parameter in a healthy population.
    • To facilitate the estimation of unequal ventilation using the Pneumotest spirometer.

    Summary:

    • The V2/V1 parameter was measured in 1,169 healthy subjects (821 males, 348 females) aged 15-70 years.
    • Measurements were performed using the electronic spirometer Pneumotest.
