Peak expiratory flow rates were measured in 124 normal elderly men (55-85 yr) using the Wright's peak flow meter. In the less than 60 yrs age group (n = 32; mean age 57.7 yr) the PEFR was 431 +/- 13 lpm, while for the group greater than 60 yr (mean age 69.0 +/- 6.0; n = 92), the PEFR value was 373 +/- 11 1pm. These values are similar to those reported in other Indian studies, suggesting that the ethnic variations amongst Indian subjects do not affect the PEFR. However, the reported values are lower than those observed in Europeans, but greater than those of Chinese. The PEFR regressed at a rate of 4.47 1pm/year increase in age, but is positively correlated to the subjects' height (cm), and their FVC and FEVI. The smokers had a significantly higher PEFR as compared with the non-smokers. This finding was contrary to what was expected.
