Changes in the normal maximal expiratory flow-volume curve with growth and aging.
TL;DR: Improved prediction equations for each sex by age group for 5 spirometric and flow-volume variables are derived and "Normal" limits are proposed that take into consideration the between-subject variability and non-Gaussian distribution of the various measurements.
