“…There is as yet no uniformly acceptable equation for estimating FEV1 and Table I shows that some of the estimating equations include even nonlinear and logarithmic functions (Cotes et al, 1966) lacks universal applicability for epidemiological purposes. An analogy may be drawn with obesity which depends on weight and height, and because the 'normal' or 'ideal' weight tables are mostly based on Caucasians, the authors of a study of coronary heart disease in Hawaii (Bassett et al, 1969) preferred to use an index of obesity (weight/height2). The three indices combining weight (W) and height (H) that have been most commonly used are W/H, W/H2, and W/HW (the ponderal index H/f/W is another way of expressing W/H8).…”

Single breath pulmonary function tests of the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) type require adjustments for age and height before the extent of their deviation from normal standards can be assessed. Many regression equations have been proposed in the literature. The Committee on Rating of Mental and Physical Impairment (1965) has provided tables of normal values of FEV1 and FVC for adults by sex, age, and height. These recommended standards were adapted from a study in the United States (Kory, Callahan, Boren, and Syner, 1961 non-bronchitic subjects for the calculation of expected values of FEV1, FVC, and FEV1 % (defined as FEV1 x 100) FVC The study showed that both age and height were significant predictors for estimating FEV1 and FVC, but that age alone was of importance for FEV1 %. All the three ventilatory functions decreased with age, and within age groups FEV1 and FVC increased with height. The within age regression coefficients of FEV1 and FVC on height were, however, significantly non-parallel, and their slopes decreased appreciably with age. In a later part of this study (Lowe, Campbell, and Khosla, 1970) it was reported that the groups of smokers not only had lower values of FEV1 at each age group than the nonsmokers, but their decline of FEV1 with age was also steeper.These results show that the overall multiple regression coefficient of FEV1 on age in any particular study is likely to be influenced by the smoking habits or the health condition of the group, and the regression coefficient of FEV1 on height could be affected by the age distribution. It is, therefore, not surprising that the regression relationships reported in the literature differ in their regression

In a seven-year follow-up study of a total county population, the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) was found to be lower in black than in white men in every occupational category except sharecroppers. Among nonfarming occupations the occupational gradient in CHD observed in the 1960 prevalence study was no longer present when incident cases were the basis for comparison. The lower prevalence rate in white farmers compared to nonfarmers, however, was confirmed in the incidence study. The most likely explanation for these findings was that sustained physical activity above a certain critical threshold value was protective against CHD. This explanation received some circumstantial support from the relationship discovered between leisure time and onthe-job physical activity and the prevalence of CHD. Hypotheses concerning the possible pathogenic processes through which physical activity might operate are briefly reviewed.
