Relationship of Height to Lung Volume in Healthy Men

NORMAN G. G. HEPPER M.D.1; WARD S. FOWLER M.D.2; and H. FREDERIC HELMHOLZ JR. M.D.2

Measurements of vital capacity and total lung capacity were made on healthy men of heights up to 206 cm.(81 inches), extending previous measurements on boys and men of average height. In the range between 120 and 206 cm. of height, lung volumes are closely related to the third power of height, as shown by others. The prediction formula of Bateman, relating volume to the cube of height, is applicable over greater ranges of height than are other linear equations in current clinical use for estimating the normal lung volumes from height.
