Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Male: vital capacity(ml)=(27.63−0.112×age)×height(cm)

Normal values in adults depend on gender, age, weight, height and even ethnicity and range between 3 and 5 liters.

Lower than normal values may indicate restrictive lung disease (e.g. pulmonary fibrosis, pneumothorax).
