Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Predictors of Decreased Pulmonary Function
1 Overall, mean ± SD of FVC was 41.6 ± 31.0%, FEV1 was 42.0 ± 30.0%, and FEV1/FVC was 95.8 ± 18.3%. Spirometry parameters varied among the 3 institutions, as follows. 1 Other parameters were ...

The Four Stages of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
A ratio of your FEV1/FVC needs to be less than 0.7 for a diagnosis of COPD. Doctors grade your spirometry results from grade 1 (least severe) to grade 4 (most severe). In the old system ...

Age-Adjusted Criteria Improve COPD Risk Classification Among Older Patients Who Smoke
Traditionally, GOLD defines airflow obstruction as a fixed FEV1/FVC ratio <0.7. However, lung function naturally declines with age, making this fixed threshold prone to misclassification, particularly ...

Associations between ultra-processed foods intake and preserved ratio impaired spirometry in U.S. adults
Using the pulmonary function parameters from the NHANES SPX dataset, we collected FEV1 and FVC as primary indicators and calculated the FEV1/FVC ratio. PRISm was defined as FEV1/FVC ≥ 0.7 with FEV1% < ...
