Zou et al developed equations for predicting the six minute walking distance (6MWD) in Chinese adults. The authors are from Wenzhou Medical University in China.
Patient selection: healthy Chinese, age 18 to 59 years
Parameters:
(1) age in years
(2) gender
(3) height in centimeters
predicted distance in meters for a male =
= (3.038 * (height in cm)) - (1.039 * (age)) + 141.327
predicted distance in meters for a female =
= (2.632 * (height in cm)) - (1.815 * (age)) + 233.994
