Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1.0) and forced vital capacity (FVC) were determined in 1001 healthy Nigerian school children, aged between four and 16 years. The results were analysed with respect to the ages, heights, weights and body surface areas of the subjects. Among the variables used, weight showed the best correlation with FEV1.0 in both sexes and with FVC in males. Conversely, height showed the best correlation with FVC in females. However, the differences between these correlations were not significant. The median values obtained were lower than those reported in caucasian children at all height levels, but similar to the only available data in the literature for African children. Median FEV1.0 and FVC values were higher in males than in females at most ages, particularly the younger ones. Formulae for the medians and corresponding 2.5 and 97.5% points have been produced, using either height or weight as independent variable.
对1001名年龄在4至16岁之间的尼日利亚健康学童进行了一秒用力呼气量（FEV1.0）和用力肺活量（FVC）测定。根据受试者的年龄、身高、体重和体表面积对结果进行了分析。在所使用的变量中，体重在男女两性中与FEV1.0的相关性最佳，在男性中与FVC的相关性最佳。相反，身高在女性中与FVC的相关性最佳。然而，这些相关性之间的差异并不显著。在所有身高水平上，获得的中位数均低于白种儿童报告的值，但与文献中仅有的非洲儿童数据相似。在大多数年龄，尤其是较年轻的年龄，男性的FEV1.0和FVC中位数高于女性。已得出以身高或体重为自变量的中位数以及相应的第2.5和第97.5百分位数的公式。
