Abstract
Reference values for the peak expiratory flow rate assessed by the Wright-McKerrow peak flow meter were established for Swedish children [143 boys and 132 girls]. The equation of the regression line is 72.14 .times. height3 + 96.12. The coefficient of correlation is 0.93 and the residual SD 13.7%.Keywords
