FEV1/FVC    86                  70
FEF 25-75    3.36                1.40                41

TLC             5.54                   4.76              86
RV               1.74                   1.56               90
RV/TLC         30                      33
FRNC N2       2.94                   2.59             88
VC                3.46                    3.20            92

DLCO             25.2                   22.5            89
DL ADJ            25.2                    22.5             89
