Parameter | Equation | SEE | R2 | p Value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Rrs6 | 27.860 − (0.180 * Ht) | 1.918 | 0.311 | <0.001 |

Rrs10 | 23.647 − (0.147 * Ht) | 1.567 | 0.304 | <0.001 |
Rrs4–24 | 23.492 − (0.149 * Ht) | 1.543 | 0.317 | <0.001 |
Xrs6 | −15.345 + (0.113 * Ht) | 1.212 | 0.306 | <0.001 |
Xrs8 | −10.746 + (0.074 * Ht) | 1.024 | 0.207 | <0.001 |
Xrs10 | −9.716 + (0.063 * Ht) | 1.069 | 0.148 | <0.001 |
Rrs6, Rrs8, Rrs10, respiratory resistance at 6, 8 and 10 Hz; Xrs6, Xrs8, Xrs10, respiratory reactance at 6, 8 and 10 Hz; Rrs4–24, average Rrs between 4 and 24 Hz.
Respiratory impedance data are expressed in hPa.s/l and Ht in cm.
SEE is the standard error of the estimate.
