The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship of vital capacity between in male & female elderly Indian population. “The cardiorespiratory function tests” was conducted on a randomly selected 110 apparently healthy subjects of 60 years and above age group belonging to both the sexes at Agra. Out of these 110 subjects, 84 were male and 26 females. In elderly Male (60+) the average vital capacity (V.C) was 2334.3 ± 370.3 ml and in elderly women (60+) 2206.2 ± 297.5 ml. The vital capacity shows a declining pattern with age in all age groups in men as well as in women and the relationship is statistically significant in both the sexes (p < 0.01 in men as well as in women).
