We have measured the vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1 second of 50 healthy men aged 20 to 25 and 50 aged 55 to 60 years in order to obtain normal values for reference use for pulmonary tests in Greece. We constructed tables of mean and 95% confidence limits for ages 20 to 70 and height 1·5 to 1·9 metres, assuming that these respiratory values vary linearly with age and height. The differences in our results from those obtained in the United States of America and in France show that misinterpretation of pulmonary function tests may result from inappropriate reference values.
我们测量了50名年龄在20至25岁之间的健康男性和50名年龄在55至60岁之间的健康男性的肺活量和1秒用力呼气量，以便获得正常值，供希腊肺部测试参考使用。我们构建了年龄在20至70岁、身高在1.5至1.9米之间的平均值和95%置信区间表，假定这些呼吸值随年龄和身高呈线性变化。我们的结果与在美国和法国获得的结果存在差异，这表明使用不适当的参考值可能会导致对肺功能测试的错误解读。
