Abstract:This study aimed to establish normative spirometric equations in a healthy population of Iranian children and adults, and compare these equations with those developed by the Caucasian Global Lung Initiative (GLI) for the first time. Methods: Spirometric data from healthy Iranian aged 4–82 years sampled in 2019 were used to derive reference equations using the generalized additive model for location (mu), shape (lambda), and scale (sigma). Results: A total of 418 females and 204 males were included in the study… Show more
