I think it refers to the biological age rather than birth age of your lungs.

I've just done mine online and it's 169 years ! :)

Very dissapointed,,mine over 100 but never got my telegram from the queen,,, :) On a serious note Annamoon,,i dont know how they get these figures..I belive it is to scare you into a lifestyle change,,, according to puff aboves figures she is the statisiticly dead,,but she vey much alive ,,and boy is she fiesty.... :)

Why do they make stupid statements unless they have dissected 169 year old lungs it is just projected guess work.

Statistically I am 27, blonde, 36 28 37 and 5'8 tall this is according to a recent questionnaire I filled in in fact I am 66 grey 5'2" and my measurements are my business!

Statistics Statistics and damn lies!!

They are all just silly numbers. :)

I got mine by filling this in. Just out of curiosity as I don't take a lot of notice of numbers.

I just did this test and the result was NaN years. Does that mean my lungs have died lol

I have my own spirometer which gives FEV1% and can also give lung age - mine was 133 last time I checked!
