Based on the spirometry results: 1. FEV1/FVC Ratio: The measured FEV1/FVC ratio is 67\%, which is below the Lower Limit of Normal (LLN) of 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 L, which is below the LLN of 2.23 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.
