[Uroflowmetric nomogram in the adult population of Canary Islands]

In order to know the uroflowmetric values of our healthy population, a uroflowmetry was made to 214 healthy subjects of both sexes. 75% of our group of volunteers collected mictional volumes under 300 ml. with no differences either by age or sex. The corresponding nomograms, in the form of percentile, for peak and mean flow in both sexes, were created. We found a progressive increase of peak and mean flow values with regard to mictional volume. Time to peak flow is shorter in women than in men. Volume at peak flow represents under 50% of total mictional volume. No significant differences in the uroflowmetric data of our healthy population and those from Anglo-Saxon authors was found.
