[Spirographic predicted values for young men in Poland].

Basing on results of VC and FEV1 measurements in 293 males of the age group 15-40 years using the regression calculations new predictive values were calculated. These values were compared with values published 27 years earlier by Nikodemowicz and Morris's normograms. The latter published the highest reference values, on which most computer programs are based on. The analysis demonstrated significantly higher predictive values compared to those of Nikodemowicz, and comparable with the Morris's normograms. It seems that the latter can be used for reference values in Poland.

[Comparative assessment of the theoretical values of vital capacity (VC) considered normal by various authors].

Values of VC for "theoretical subjects" of comparable sexes, age, height were found in tables and normograms according to Baldwin, Berglund, Kory, Nikodemowicz and Morris. For each series of values, mean, standard deviation, minimal, maximal, and median values were calculated. A differential test was performed to assess significance. Statistically significant differences were found. The highest values were expressed by Morris lowest by Berglund. It seems that one should rather use real values instead of predicted and new reference values are needed due to a change of height-age relation during the past 20 years.

[Comparative analysis of basic spirometric parameters recognized by different authors as normal values for the same individuals].

Basic spirometric parameters (VC, FEV1, MVV) were recorded in 60 people (30 males and 30 females) without ventilatory disturbances. These results were compared with the normal values of Berglund, Kory, Cournand, Morris and Nikodemowicz. A statistical analysis was carried out using the differential test. The results differed significantly between each other. The most stable parameter that did not differ was FEV1. This may be an argument for calculating IMBC rather than recording maximal ventilatory response.
