Nonobstructed Obstructed FEV1 % pred 103±15 64±17 FVC % pred 106±12 83±17 FEV1/FVC 0.77±0.4 0.60±0.8 FEF25% % pred 81±23 32±18 FEF50% % pred 100±41 29±11 FEF75% % pred 84±36 41±18 FEF25–75% % pred 61±5 27±10 Data are presented as mean±sd. FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC: forced vital capacity; FEFx%: forced expiratory flow at 25%, 50% and 75% of FVC. p<0.0001 for all comparisons.
