Data are presented as % or mean±sd, unless otherwise stated. Summary of data submitted to the Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) lung volumes task force. Obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) >95th centile in children and BMI >30 kg·m−2 in adults (aged >18 years). Some centres (n=11) submitted spirometry data from which the mean±sd of the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) z-score was calculated using the GLI 2012 spirometry equations [1].
