Data on pulmonary function, with particular reference to flow-volumes, were obtained in 760 normal healthy Indians in Bombay, who had never smoked and who had no symptom or history of cardiorespiratory disease. Prediction equations were derived for spirometric parameters and for maximal expiratory flows. The maximal expiratory flow-volume curves showed considerable intersubject variability. Both flow and volume decreased with advancing age, with the flow-volume curve appearing increasingly convex towards the volume axis in its second half with increase in age. The maximal expiratory flows in our study were significantly lower compared to values reported by workers in the West.
在孟买对760名从未吸烟且无心肺疾病症状或病史的正常健康印度人进行了肺功能数据采集，尤其关注流量-容积情况。得出了肺活量测定参数和最大呼气流量的预测方程。最大呼气流量-容积曲线显示出受试者之间存在相当大的变异性。流量和容积均随年龄增长而下降，随着年龄增加，流量-容积曲线在后半部分朝着容积轴方向越来越凸。与西方研究人员报告的值相比，我们研究中的最大呼气流量显著更低。
