Normal lung function values have frequently been shown to be racially specific. This study of 1072 boys and girls establishes normal standards for peak expiratory flow rate, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, and forced vital capacity in Asian (Indian) children aged 5-14 years. These values are compared with those of American white and black children and of Indian and British Asians.
