Pulmonary function tests [forced expiratory volume (FEVl) and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)] were conducted on healthy and non-smoking volunteers of either sex in Kashmiri population. PEFR and FEVI values of Kashmiri men were significantly higher than women. PEFR values of men and women population were significantly lower than healthy Western men and women whereas the FEVl values were not different from the reference standards.
