A respiratory survey was conducted in two British towns, one with a high mortality (Caerphilly) and one with a low mortality (Bath) from respiratory disease. A total of 513 men aged 65-74 years were seen. The Caerphilly men had poorer lung function than the Bath men; the overall difference in FEV1 and FVC for men aged 70 and 1.68m tall was 0.16 1 and 0.17 1 respectively. These differences appeared to be largely due to the greater tendency of the Caerphilly men to smoke and to an effect related to social class. Respiratory symptoms were also more common in Caerphilly, principally because of the effects of smoking and occupational group, although when these factors were allowed for there was still a significantly greater prevalence of breathless wheezing in Caerphilly.
在英国的两个城镇开展了一项呼吸道调查，其中一个城镇（卡菲利）呼吸系统疾病死亡率高，另一个城镇（巴斯）呼吸系统疾病死亡率低。共检查了513名65至74岁的男性。卡菲利的男性肺功能比巴斯的男性差；对于身高1.68米、年龄70岁的男性，其第一秒用力呼气容积（FEV1）和用力肺活量（FVC）的总体差异分别为0.16升和0.17升。这些差异似乎主要是由于卡菲利的男性吸烟倾向更高以及与社会阶层相关的影响。呼吸道症状在卡菲利也更为常见，主要是吸烟和职业群体的影响所致，不过即便考虑了这些因素，卡菲利气喘吁吁的患病率仍显著更高。
