Comparison of the predicted mean values of respiratory resistance (Rrs) (Rmean) for males and females from the present study and those from previously published studies [4, 5, 6, 8, 19], as functions of height at different ages. a) male, 20 years; b) female, 20 years; c) male, 50 years; d) female, 50 years; e) male, 80 years; f) female, 80 years. Weight was fixed at 80 and 65 kg in males and females, respectively. Predictions for Rrs at 19 Hz were computed from Brown et al. [5], since Rrs at 20 Hz was closest to Rmean in our dataset.
