Multiple Regression Norms for the Prediction of Pulmonary Function Measurements in Young Muslim Males of Kolkata, India.
| Pulmonary function measurement | Regression equation | R | R 2 | SEE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VC (L) | VC = 0.07 H + 0.05 A − 8.67 | .85* | .7259 | 0.28 |
| FVC (L) | FVC = 0.07 H + 0.03 A − 8.50 | .82* | .6724 | 0.30 |
| FEV1 (L) | FEV1 = 0.08 H + 0.04 A − 9.92 | .85* | .7249 | 0.33 |
| FEV1% (%) | FEV1% = 0.20 H + 2.28 A + 8.15 | .68* | .4761 | 5.12 |
| PEFR (L/min) | PEFR = 11.71 H − 5.37 A − 1165.41 | .82* | .6724 | 40.41 |
Note. VC = vital capacity; FVC = forced vital capacity; FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FEV1% = FEV1 as a percentage of FVC; PEFR = peak expiratory flow rate; H = body height; A = age; SEE = standard errors of estimate.
