Lung function studies were performed on 522 school children in Ibadan to determine normal values among Nigerian School children. From four schools 257 boys and 265 girls aged 7 - 18 with different socio-economic background were selected. The forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) wee estimated using the wedge bellows vitalograph. It was observed from the results that the mean FVC and FEV1, values were lower than the predicted mean values matched for age, sex, height and weight. It was further observed that the values obtained were lower than those of the caucasian children. However, it was observed that the FVC values correlate significantly with age, weight and height (P less than 0.01).
在伊巴丹对522名学童进行了肺功能研究，以确定尼日利亚学童的正常值。从四所学校中挑选了257名男孩和265名女孩，年龄在7至18岁之间，社会经济背景各异。使用楔形风箱肺活量计估计用力肺活量（FVC）和一秒用力呼气量（FEV1）。从结果中观察到，FVC和FEV1的平均值低于根据年龄、性别、身高和体重匹配的预测平均值。进一步观察到，获得的值低于白种人儿童的值。然而，观察到FVC值与年龄、体重和身高显著相关（P小于0.01）。
