RESUMO
Expiratory spirometry was performed on forty Male asymptomatic smokers of different age groups. Maximum Mid expiratory flow rate [MMFR] and forced expiratory volume first second [FEV1] were recorded. It was found that MMFR shows a significant decrease in smokers as compared to the control subjects; FEVI was found to be within normal predicted values in most of the cases. These results suggest that MMFR is a more sensitive and better test in detecting early changes in the small airways of healthy smokers than FEVI
