FEV1/FVC Ratio (Tiffeneau Index): Males, Age 80+

What these numbers mean

A value around 0.747 is typical (50th percentile) for males in this age group. The middle 50% of the reference population fall between about 0.686 and 0.807; values below or above that central range sit in the lower or upper half of the distribution. Position in the distribution does not, on its own, indicate better or worse health for this metric.
