[Reference values of the residual volume for the rvo2-method (author's transl)].

Residual volume and the relative RV/TLC (total lung capacity) were measured in 632 men and 191 women aged 15 to 70 years. The residual volume showed a significant correlation to age and body height, but not to the relative body weight (Broca-Index). The values of RV/TLC showed a correlation to age and Broca-Index, but not to the body height. The regression formular to calculate the normal range are given; they comply with the data of other authors.

[State of health self-rating scale differences in smoking and non-smoking patients with lung diseases (author's transl)].

1000 patients of a chest hospital, among them 447 non-smokers and 553 smokers were interviewed with a self-rating questionnaire about their physical and psychical state of health, without knowing, that their answers might be evaluated under the view of smoking and non-smoking behaviour. Both groups could be well distinguished in relation to some topics. Non-smokers reported physical complaints more frequently and intensively and feeled more psychic impairments than smokers. The possible influence of the predominantly medical orientated health education upon this unexpected result is discussed. It is proposed to lay more attention upon the social conditions side by side with the medico-scientific informations, till now still insufficiently influencing the smoking behaviour of the population. Only some facts of the original material are reported. Therefore, this is only a report in a preliminary phase.
