The body-size data of 2,195 males and 2,293 females aged between 20 and 60 y were included to calculate the average physical dimensions. Two hundred datasets of computed tomography corresponding to the average physique range were collected to measure the average linear dimensions (the length of x, y, and z-axis) of lungs.
