Vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1 s were measured in 387 healthy European and 16 non-European children aged from five to 11 years. These measurements were correlated with height, sitting height, arm span, weight, lean weight and age in various combinations. Suitable linear regression equations are presented from which these lung volumes may be predicted with confidence limits down to approximately +/- 400 ml and +/- 200 ml respectively.
