    Abstract

    Forced expiratory volumes and flows (forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) peak expiratory flow (PEF), maximal expiratory flow at 25% (MEF25%), 50% (MEF50%) and 75% (MEF75%) of the FVC) have been measured in 909 healthy nonsmoking men and women, ranging in age from 18-86 yrs, who live on Eastern Adriatic islands (Yugoslavia). This area is essentially free from air pollution. The results have been analysed in terms of age and height and regression equations for each sex were derived. The equations for FVC and FEV1 were reliable and those for forced expiratory flows were not. Comparisons were made with prediction equations derived for other populations, especially with those which are commonly used in daily medical practice.
