Lung function in Lolland ‐Falster Health Study (LOFUS)

ConclusionPrevalence of airway obstruction in this rural population was comparable to previous estimates from urban Danish population studies. The choice of cut-off impacts the estimated prevalence, and using the FEV1/FVC cut-off may overestimate prevalence. However, many participants with known respiratory disease had normal spirometry in this health study.
