Abstract
The study was conducted to find out the possibilities of predicting the vital capacity based on height and weight of an individual. In 15 male and 15 female adults the height, weight and vital capacity were measured and nomograms were developed. In another 15 male and 15 female adults the height and weight were measured and the vital capacity for each indi- vidual was predicted using previously developed nomograms. Then the vital capacity was measured in these subjects using an expirograph. The predicted and obtained vital capacities were found to be within 1 + 300 c.c for all the subjects. Thus it was found that it would be possible to predict vital capacity based on height and weight.
