RESIDENCE AND PEAK EXPIRATORY FLOW RATES AMONG NAVY RECRUITS1

GEORGE W. COMSTOCK2 and PHILIP F. RUST

2Reprint requests to Dr. Comstock, Training Center for Public Health Research, Box 2067, Hagerstown, Maryland 21740.

Between April 1970, and February 1971, peak expiratory flow rates were determined on 3409 white male Navy recruits at the Naval Training Center, San Diego, California. The peak expiratory flow rates were slightly higher among nonsmokers than among smokers. No significant differences were found among recruits from metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. Regional differences did not correlate well with death rates from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
