PFTs are important tool for assessment of respiratory system. This study was conducted among 189 adolescent medicos of VIMS, Pawapuri to assess the pulmonary function tests. It was observed that the difference in FVC for males and females was not significant (p=0.16). FEV1 for males and females were different significantly (p=0.02). However, FEV1/ FVC % was similar in males and females (p=0.76). PEFR was different in males and females but this difference was not significant (p=0.053). This provides baseline data of PFTs for adolescent age group in this area.
