Influence of race-specific compared with multiracial reference equations in interpretation of lung function and the association with survival. Histograms demonstrate the distribution of FEV1 z-scores applying race-specific compared with multiracial, multiethnic Global Lung Initiative reference equations. The predicted survival for a 55-year-old, female never-smoker living at two times the federal income–poverty ratio is displayed for Black and White participants using each approach.
