Peak Flow meter reading and height to weight

Posted , 1 user is following.

I was wondering if a persons weight has any bearing on what an optimal peak flow meter reading should be? I can only see age and height are the relevent factors mentioned. My own thought would be if someone was larger they might have a slightly larger lung capacity but i could be wrong!

I am 44, and 185cm , peak flow is usually 600
