Parameter Equation SEE R2 p Value
Rrs6 27.860 − (0.180 * Ht) 1.918 0.311 <0.001
Rrs8 26.136 − (0.167 * Ht) 1.754 0.309 <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.
