Physiology, Lung Capacity » Lung capacity or total lung capacity (TLC) is the volume of air in the lungs upon the maximum effort of inspiration.  Among healthy adults, the average lung capacity is about 6 liters. Age, gender, body composition, and ethnicity are factors affecting the different ranges of lung capacity among individuals. TLC rapid increases from birth to adolescence and plateaus at around 25 years old. Males tend to have a greater TLC than females, while individuals with tall stature tend to have greater TLC than those with short stature, and individuals with a high waist-to-hip ratio generally have a lower TLC.[1][2] Individuals of African descent have a lower TLC compared to individuals of European descent.[3] Additional factors that affect an individual's lung capacity include the level of physical activity, chest wall deformities, and respiratory diseases.
