Spirometric reference values

Spirometric reference values are standard measurements used to assess lung function, comparing an individual's results to typical values for their age, gender, height, and ethnicity. These values help determine how well your lungs are working by measuring things like how much air you can exhale after a deep breath and how quickly. If your results are close to the reference values, your lungs are likely healthy. Significant differences might indicate a lung problem, prompting further evaluation. These references are essential for diagnosing, monitoring, and managing respiratory conditions effectively.
