vital capacity is the amount of air inspired, 450-500so if it is less than 450 ml its called decrease vcvc is measured by using spirometer

Vital capacity decreases with age due to changes in lung elasticity, chest wall compliance, and muscle strength. These changes can lead to a decrease in the ability of the lungs to stretch and fill with air, resulting in a reduced amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximal inhalation. Additionally, age-related factors such as decreased respiratory muscle strength and changes in lung structure can further contribute to the decline in vital capacity.
Four factors that can affect the vital capacity of a person are age (vital capacity decreases with age), gender (males tend to have higher vital capacity than females), height (taller individuals usually have higher vital capacity), and physical fitness level (regular exercise can increase vital capacity).

Vital Capacity gradually decreases with age because, as one ages, the elastic fibers in the lung gradually decrease as well. This results in less elastance and greater compliance of the lungs: think of an over stretched rubber band. Further, the muscles of chest weaken with age; hence, the lungs are unable to exert the same force to bring air in or out so the vital capacity (what we are able to breath in and out or maximal ventilation) is decreased.
the vital capacity of lungs is 3.5 liters to 4.5 litres
There are many reasons that could increase or decrease vital capacity in a person. Respiratory conditions are a major factor in how much air a person can take in.
vital lung capacity is how much air remains in your lungs after you exhale
My vital capacity is 1650cc (Yes, it's very low, but I'm twelve and I'm small). cc is used to measure vital capacity.
bigger body surface area = bigger vital capacity
