fev1 related to differing levels of lung functioning

[Ricky123]

just been looking at a cf book handed out to adult patients via the cf trust about living with cf and noticed the categorisation they link your fev1 to and the state of your lungs,
fev1 70-90 mild
fev1 50-70 moderate
fev1 below 50 severe

but i also looked at some internet sites that were concerned with fev1 and lung function and their values were slightly different claiming that a fev 1 of 75 or over is considered normal,yet i also know that a normal lung function can range anything from around 80 to a 120 (fev1) based on what a cf docter told me

i be curious to find out how docters in other countries view categorisation of fev1 related to the severity of cf

I have never known what a normal person's range might be, so that's interesting. I'm glad to finally hear, 80-120.

Yes, those are the standard categorizations. Don't we all love to fit in categories, unless of course you're in the less "popular" category. I think there needs to be more research on quality of life at different FEV1 levels. I think they may find some surprising results. There is a dramatic difference from 1 person to the next in their enjoyment and quality of life at all levels. For example, I have been through a pre-transplant eval. and yet feel no real quality of life crunch from even 15 years ago when I was at a dramatically higher FEV1 and I also think some people with much higher FEV1's battle daily. I know there are many people on this forum who manage well with a not so great FEV1. My point is, I think there is much more to FEV1 than researchers know at this point.
