MAXIMUM BREATHING CAPACITY AND VITAL CAPACITY OF MALE CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

B. G. FERRIS JR. M.D.1, J. L. WHITTENBERGER M.D.1, and J. R. GALLAGHER M.D.1

1 The Department of Physiology, Harvard School of Public Health, and the Children's Medical Center, Boston.

Expected mean values and a range of normal values (plus or minus two standard deviations) are presented for the vital capacity and the maximum breathing capacity of male children and adolescents.

It is recommended that calculations of the above values be based upon four attributes (age, height, weight, and body surface area) rather than upon a prediction deriving from a single attribute (especially in the individual who does not have a standard height and weight for his age).
