Lung age

I was told yesterday that my lung age is 66, but I wasn't given the other readings. I will call and ask for them on Monday. I am 37 years old. Does anyone know how my lung age may relate to my FEV1 reading and stage of disease?

I have never been told a lung age, it doesn't mean much. You should get the actual figures though, they give you more information.
