NOTE:
Per Quanjer,
male and female values are extrapo-
lated to age 87 by the printer and values provided for subjects aged
18-24 are the same as those provided for a 25 year old subject. For
subjects 6-l 7 years of age PEF values are from Knudson, 1976, and
all others are from Knudson, 1983.
*Ratio values are calculated by dividing the predicted FEVl by the
predicted FVC.
