Severity of Airflow Obstruction Based on FEV < sub > 1 < /sub > /FVC vs FEV < sub > 1 < /sub > % of Predicted in the General US Population

CONCLUSIONS: FEV1/FVC and FEV1%pred as measures of severity of airflow limitation show similar prediction of breathlessness and mortality in the adult US population across ethnicity groups. However, stage 1 differed more clearly from non-obstructive based on FEV1/FVC than FEV1%pred.
