Abstract		Forced expiratory vital capacity (FEVC) and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) were measured in healthy, non-smoking female students from the University of Ljubljana. The sample included 86 students, none active in sports, ranging in age from 18-23 years. The results were analysed in terms of anthropometric variables, and regressiori equations were derived. Comparisons were made with Europaean Respiratory Society (ERS) prediction equations derived from non-Slovenian populations, commonly used in our medical practice. The ERS and our equations predict significantly different values for FEVC and insignificantly for FEV1. According to comparisons of r2 and SD of residuals, we presumed that newly derived equations can be better predictors of ventilatory parameters for Slovene female students population.
Summary		Pri zdravih študentkah nekadilkah, ki se s športom ne ukvarjajo aktivno, smo merili forsirano ekspiratorno vitalno kapaciteto (FEVC) in forsirani ekspiratorni volumen 1(FEV1). Vzorec je obsegal 86 študentk ljubljanske univerze, starih od 18 do 23 let. Iz izmerjenih antropometričnih parametrov smo izpeljali dve regresijski enačbi za izračun FEVC in FEV1. Rezultate smo primerjali z rezultati Evropskega respiratomega združenja (ERS), ki se običajno uporabljajo v medicinski praksi. Izmerjene vrednosti FEVC značilno in vrednosti FEV1 neznačilno presegajo predvidene evropske standarde. Smatramo, da so za slovensko žensko populacijo naše predikcijske enačbe primernejše, zato priporočamo uporabo lastnih standardov.
