Abstract

A prospective study on dynamic spirometric parameters on 195 healthy non-smoking men-workers, representing the non-smoking labor population from 16 to 40 years of age, in the Murcia Region (Spain), has been carried out.Men were selected upon two criteria: age and height.Lower normality limits, have been estimated with 95% reliability by developing regression equations for the following spirometric parameters: forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume (timed and relative), peak flow and forced mid-expiratory flow.
