To explore how airway resistance and conductance relate to lung volume in individuals of varying age and body size.
Evaluated airway resistance and conductance using standardized measurements.
Included subjects across a wide age range and different body sizes.
Utilized lung volume metrics to analyze relationships.
Higher airway resistance observed in subjects with larger body sizes.
In older subjects, a significant correlation between airway conductance and lung volume was found.

Briscoe et al. (1958) studied this question.
