Reference values for spirometric parameters in healthy children living in a Colombian city located at 2640 m altitude.

For the majority of spirometry parameters, we recommend the use of Knudson and GLI-2012 spirometry reference equations for evaluating the respiratory function of children living in Bogota, Colombia, a city located at an altitude of 2640 m. Future investigations should target additional spirometric equations from Latin American populations living at moderate to high altitude to improve the GLI-2012 equations.
