We read with great interest the paper on relative and absolute lung function change in a general population aged 62–102 years in the region of Skåne, Sweden [1], since lung function research in the growing age group of older adults, especially those ≥80 years old, is indeed limited [2, 3]. Spirometry quality and interpretation in very old adults needs to be further researched, especially the use of FEV1 expressions that are independent of reference equations/values http://bit.ly/2R9vyW6

在老年人肺功能测试中避免年龄歧视并促进独立于参考方程

我们非常感兴趣地阅读了关于瑞典斯科讷地区 62-102 岁一般人群的相对和绝对肺功能变化的论文 [1]，因为肺功能研究在不断壮大的老年人群中进行，尤其是 ≥ 80岁，确实是有限的[2, 3]。需要进一步研究老年人的肺活量测定质量和解释，特别是使用独立于参考方程/值的 FEV1 表达式 http://bit.ly/2R9vyW6
