Spirometry measurements are compared to standard values for age, sex, and race. The use of race-based equations has been questioned in several clinical situations, and researchers are now raising similar concerns about the use of race-based equations in spirometry, which may lead to health inequities. Join us for an important discussion on how to overcome these potential disparities in diagnosing COPD.\\n\\xa0\\nEpisode resource links:\\n\\nLiu GY, Khan SS, Colangelo LA, et al.
