Multi-ethnic all-age spirometry reference equations: Recent developments

The ERS Task Force “Global Lung Function Initiative”, which addresses reference values for spirometry and transfer factor for CO, is now being hosted by the ERS. 
Following completion of a highly successful ERS Task Force, it is now 3 years since the Global Lung Function Initiative published their new all-age  spirometry equations  based on data from 74,187 healthy non-smokers aged 3-95 years (Quanjer et al ERJ 2012).
