Abstract
This paper presents regression equations for predicting some ventilatory 'norms' (viz. vital capacity, forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume for one second, expiratory reserve volume, inspiratory capacity and maximum voluntary ventilation) from physical characteristics of healthy Indian males. These equations have been constructed on the basis of multivariate regression analysis of the data of ventilatory 'norms' and physical characteristics collected on 171 healthy Indian males of age ranging from 21-69 years. Applications of these regression equations will be of practiced importance to biomedical scientists interested in the indirect assessment of ventilatory 'norms for a wider age range (21-69 years) which has not been covered by earlier studies carried out in this direction.
