The Total Lung Capacity (TLC) volume of air in the lungs after maximum inspiration.
predicted TLC = RV + VC
TLC in liters for males (Boren, 1966) =
= (0.198 * (height in inches)) - 7.3 =
= (0.078 * (height in cm)) - 7.3
TLC in liters in White males 15 - 91 years of age (Crapo, 1982) =
= (0.0590 * (height in cm)) - 4.537
TLC in liters in White females 15 - 91 years of age (Crapo, 1982) =
= (0.0795 * (height in cm)) + (0.0032 * (age in years)) - 7.333
TLC in liters in Chinese males 20 - 66 years of age (Da Costa, 1971) =
= (0.0787 * (height in cm)) - 7.934
TLC in liters in Chinese females 20 - 66 years of age (Da Costa, 1971) =
= (0.0365 * (height in cm)) - (0.0163 * (age in years)) - 1.203
TLC in liters in adult males (Goldman, 1959) =
= (0.094 * (height in cm)) - (0.015 * (age in years)) - 9.167
TLC in liters in adult females (Goldman, 1959) =
= (0.079 * (height in cm)) - (0.008 * (age in years)) - 7.49
TLC in liters in adult males 20 - 65 years of age (Grimby, 1963) =
= (6.92 * (height in meters)) - (0.017 * (weight in kilograms)) - 4.30
TLC in liters in adult females 18 - 72 (Grimby, 1963) =
= (6.71 * (height in meters)) - (0.015 * (weight in kilograms)) - 5.77
TLC in liters in White males 18 - 86 years of age (Roberts, 1991) =
= (7.956 * (height in meters)) - 6.948
TLC in liters in White females 18 - 86 years of age (Roberts, 1991) =
= (7.107 * (height in meters)) - 6.435
Purpose: To estimate the total lung capacity (TLC) for an adult based on physical parameters.
