Dashboard Orders & Results B2639727 Lung Function

Lung Function

Lung Function

Your lung function test is an assessment of your respiratory health using spirometry. FEV1 is the amount of air you blew out in the first second of the test. FEV6 is the amount you blew out in 6 seconds. Your results are compared to 'predicted' values which is an expected normal value for somebody of your your age, height and sex. Abnormal lung function test results can be due to respiratory impairment, most commonly due to COPD (chronic obstructive airways disease), which is itself normally caused by smoking. Smoking damages your airways leading to lung disease and is the number one cause of lung cancer. If you smoke, stopping smoking is one of the best things you'll ever do for your health. If you smoke we include a 'Lung Age' based on your other readings to show the impact smoking has had on the health of your lungs.

FEV1 (best/predicted)

Your FEV1 result has been given a green flag as it is within the recommended range. FEV1 is the amount of air expelled from your lungs in the first second of the test. The result is expressed as a % of the expected result for a healthy person of the same height, sex and age as you. FEV1 is reduced in respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary fibrosis.

FEV1/FEV6 (COPD RISK)

Your FEV1/FEV6 ratio has been given a green flag as it is within the recommended range which suggests your lungs are functioning normally. Although your results have been given a green flag, we recommend you speak to your GP if you are experiencing symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which include shortness of breath, wheezing, chronic cough, regular sputum production or frequent chest infections.
