About this test

The lung function test is an assessment of your respiratory health using spirometry. Abnormal lung function test results can be due to respiratory impairment, most commonly due to COPD (chronic obstructive airways disease).

The latest figures from the British Lung Foundation indicate around 2 million people have an undiagnosed lung condition.

FEV1 & FEV6

Your FEV1 and FEV6 readings measure the amount of air expelled from your lungs over a period of time to determine whether your lung function is within the normal range.

Obstructive Index

This reading measures the level of obstruction in your lungs, giving a result of standard, mild, moderate or severe.

Lung Age

If you are a smoker, you will receive a 'lung age' calculation comparing your actual age with an estimated age based on the performance of your lungs.
