Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments Im still not understanding what is the need/meaning/function for FEV1/FVC ratio measurement? What does that truly show? A Deeper obstruction? Do people with COPD only have the lower levels of FEV1/FVC? If there’s FEV1 then why do we need this ratio?For instance: my FVC is 113%my FEV1 is 90 %And my FEV1/FVC ratio is “66” So, what number is giving off the “mild obstruction” diagnosis?
