Using arm span to derive height: Impact of three estimates of height on interpretation of spirometry

BACKGROUND: When standing height required to calculate forced vital capacity (FVC) cannot be measured, it can be derived from arm span using different methods. OBJECTIVES: To compare three different estimates of height derived from arm span and investigate their impact on interpretation of spirometr...
