A Survey of Lung Capacity of Indonesian Reference Man from Javanese

A survey lung capacity of Javanese References Man had been done by measuring the vital capacity (VC) and forced vital capacity (FVC). This measurement was carried out on urban, agriculture and fisherman population in West Java, East Java and Middle Java Province and conducted from 1994 to 1995 by using Microspiro HI-501 spirometric diagnostic system. From this study it was found a difference of lung capacity from each population. This difference caused by different of daily activity that could influent muscular that support and also disturb of respiration. The value of lung vital capacity of Javanese Reference Man was less than ICRP recommendation that is adopted from caukasian ethnic. This difference could consequent that accumulation of radionuclides absorbed by Javanese reference man less than reference man from ICRP recommendation. This study proved that adoption from ICRP recommendation data to Indonesian Reference Man could not be done directly
