Predictive equations using regression analysis of pulmonary function for healthy children in Northeast China.

<h4>Background</h4>There have been few published studies on spirometric reference values for healthy children in China. We hypothesize that there would have been changes in lung function that would not have been precisely predicted by the existing spirometric reference equations. The obj...
