(FEV1 30%-80% of predicted for age in spirometry performed approximately 10-15 minutes after the subject has self-administered 4 inhalations (i.e., total 400mcg) of albuterol/salbutamol via a metered dose inhaler (MDI) with a valved-holding chamber. The FEV1/FVC ratio and FEV1 percent predicted values will be calculated using NHANES III reference equations) [Hankinson 1999]. Subjects will have COPD which complies with the definition of the American Thoracic. Society/European Respiratory Society. [Celli, 2004).
