Roentgenographic determination of total lung capacity: normal values from a National Population Survey.

Planimetric measurements of total lung capacity (TLC) were made from posteroanterior and lateral chest roentgenograms obtained during a nationwide survey of the civilian, noninstitutionalized United States population. Regression equations for TLC, residual volume (RV), and the ratio of RV to TLC for healthy, nonsmoking participants are presented. The equations predict values that agree closely with previously published normal values obtained by other methods.

Physical growth: National Center for Health Statistics percentiles.

Anthropometry is an effective and frequently performed child health and nutrition screening procedure. The value of physical growth data depends on their accuracy and reliability, how they are recorded and interpreted, and what follow-up efforts are made after identification of growth abnormality. The new National Center for Health Statistics percentiles can be used to improve identification of potential health and nutritional problems and to facilitate the epidemological comparison of one group of children with others.
