Abstract

Respiratory function testing was done using a portable electronic spirometer in 223 normal Malay subjects between the ages of 15 to 75 years. Tests of FEV1, FVC, PEFR, and MMF were recorded using standard forced expiratory maneuvers. Malay adults have lower respiratory function values compared to Caucasians and other Asians.
