We conducted a study to measure the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) in a group of normal Malay primary school children aged 7 to 12 years. PEFR was measured in 920 children (482 boys and 438 girls) while FVC and FEV1 were measured in 292 of them (168 boys and 124 girls). In agreement with previous studies, we found that PEFR was correlated with age and height of the subjects but FVC and FEV1 were correlated with height only. Prediction equations for all 3 lung function indices for Malay boys and girls were formulated. In comparison with the lung function values from Western and Chinese subjects, the lung function values in our subjects are lower.
我们开展了一项研究，以测量一组7至12岁正常马来族小学生的呼气峰值流速（PEFR）、用力肺活量（FVC）和1秒用力呼气量（FEV1）。对920名儿童（482名男孩和438名女孩）进行了PEFR测量，而对其中292名儿童（168名男孩和124名女孩）进行了FVC和FEV1测量。与之前的研究一致，我们发现PEFR与受试者的年龄和身高相关，但FVC和FEV1仅与身高相关。制定了马来族男孩和女孩所有3项肺功能指标的预测方程。与西方和中国受试者的肺功能值相比，我们受试者的肺功能值较低。
