Abstrakt:	Introduction: Spirometric reference values cannot be extrapolated in the populations, being subject to many environmental and human variables; hence the interest of local studies in this field. Methods: This study aims to determine the reference values among healthy adults in Kinshasa. We conducted a cross-sectional study including 7443 subjects (3208 women, 43%). FEV1, FVC, PEF were correlated with anthropometric data. Five age groups were formed and comparisons were made on the basis of sex, age, BMI and of the practice of sporting activity. Results: Differences are evident between the sexes, in terms of FEV1 (3.00 vs 2.21 L), FVC (3.19 vs 2.38) and the PEF (6.8 vs 5.70 L/s); same as for the outer age categories. FEV1 ranged between 2.33 et 4.54 vs 1.93-3.3 L in the age group 20-29 years and 1,76-3,39 vs 1,60 vs 2,53 L in the age group 60-70 years; FVC ranged between 2,44-4,89 vs 1,96-3,56 L and 1,79-3,78 vs 1,66-2,74 L ; PEF ranged between 4,34-12.2 vs 3,62-8.58 L/s and 2.99-6.76 vs 2.99-7.34L/s in the age group 60-70 years. Conclusion: The differences related to gender, age, anthropometric data as well as to the practice of sporting activity are obvious. These results warrant further and more extended investigations and show the relevance of values based on percentiles in the determinantion of a spirometry standard in a given population.
