Race-neutral equations for assessing lung function appeared to catch more true-abnormal findings for Black patients than did previously standard race-adjusted spirometry equations, a study showed.

Use of race-specific spirometry equations yielded no significant improvement in models of lung function involving dyspnea and quantitative chest CT according to data from two population-based cohorts.
