Table 1. Anthropometric characteristics and pulmonary function variables.
n: number of subjects; kg: kilograms; m: meters; BMI: body mass index. FVC (% predicted): estimated percentage of predicted forced vital capacity; FEV1 (% predicted): estimated percentage of predicted forced expiratory volume in the first second; FEF 25–75% (% predicted): estimated percentage of predicted mean forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of FVC; VC (% predicted): estimated percentage of predicted vital capacity; IC: inspiratory capacity (L: liter); ERV: expiratory reserve volume.
