c This table is based on participants in white ethnic groups only. The Stanojevic All Age 2009 equations, applicable to white (Caucasian) populations, were used to determine the predicted values for spirometry measurements in this chapter. ERS Global Lungs Initiative ethnic-specific reference equations that will also cover other ethnic groups were not available at the time of analysis, and therefore participants from non-white ethnic groups were excluded from the analysis shown here
