Summary: The aim of the study is to obtain reference values for lung function tests in school children. For that purpose dynamic lung volumes and expiratory flow rates are individually determined in the sample of healthy school children living in the city of Rijeka including its wider surroundings. Calculated values will represent reference standards for surveyed population. They could also be used for creation of unique Croatian spirometric reference values.

Keywords: Child, lung function tests, reference values.

Research goals: Using modern statistical methods we will obtain reference values for lung function tests (FVC, FEV1, MEF, PEF) in healthy school children. The results of the study will be of a great help in routine medical work on surveyed area, because obtained reference values are of a basic importance when interpreting spirometric findings. Furthermore, the reference values could be compared and even unified with those already found in Split and Zagreb in order to create unique Croatian spirometric reference values for school children.
