Based on the spirometry results:

  1. FEV1/FVC Ratio: The measured FEV1/FVC ratio is 67%67\%, which is below the Lower Limit of Normal (LLN) of 70%70\%. A reduced FEV1/FVC ratio is the primary indicator of an obstructive ventilatory defect.
  2. FVC (Forced Vital Capacity): The measured FVC is 1.99 L1.99 \text{ L}, which is below the LLN of 2.23 L2.23 \text{ L}. A reduced FVC suggests a restrictive ventilatory defect.

Since both the FEV1/FVC ratio is reduced (indicating obstruction) and the FVC is reduced (indicating restriction), the pattern is a mixed ventilatory defect.
