    The document summarizes pulmonary function test (PFT) results and their interpretation. An FEV1/FVC ratio less than 0.70 indicates obstructive lung disease, while a ratio equal to or greater than 0.70 with an FEV1 below 80% of predicted indicates a mixed restrictive and obstructive pattern. An FEV1/FVC ratio equal to or greater than 0.70 and an FEV1 equal to or greater than 80% of predicted represents normal lung function.
