Diagnostic and prognostic utility of mid-expiratory flow rate in older community-dwelling persons with respiratory symptoms, but without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

BACKGROUND: The maximal expiratory flow at 50 % of the forced vital capacity (MEF(50)) is the flow where half of forced vital capacity (FVC) remains to be exhaled. A reduced MEF(50) has been suggested as a surrogate marker of small airways disease. The diagnostic and prognostic utility of this easy...
