Zusammenfassung:Reference values for Raw, SGaw, FRC, VC, RV, TLC, RV TLC and ERV were measured in a series of 268 non-smoking males and 244 non-smoking females, all 18 - 65 years old.The measurements were taken with a constant-volume body plethysmograph (Siregnost, Siemens), using an analog computer to correct differences in temperature and humidity. Equations were derived using age, height and weight as predictors. The reproducibility was tested.
