The manuscript is very interesting, and certainly it will mark the “history” of pulmonary function reference equations [2]. In the aforementioned study, 7190 observations from 17 centres were submitted and reference equations were derived for individuals aged 5 to 80 years [1]. The centres were based in 11 countries localised in four continents (Europe, Ocean, America and Africa). Since the vast majority (97.2%) of data came from individuals having a “European ancestry”, this expression was used to “describe” the included individuals [1].The statement that Tunisians have a 100% “European ancestry” is a source of ethnic and historical confusion https://bit.ly/3v3AY5T ER -
