. Reference values for the peak expiratory flow rate assessed by the Wright‐McKerrow peak flow meter have been established for Swedish children. The material consisted of 143 boys and 132 girls. We recommend the sexes be considered together. The equation of the regression line is 72.14 height 3 + 96.12. The coefficient of correlation is 0.93 and the residual standard deviation 13.7 %.
