Current data (v1.0, released to Sandbox in Dec 2025) contains 123,113 measurements from 46,230 individuals. The data includes pre- and post-bronchodilator values, GLI-2012 predicted values (precent predicted, z-scores, LLN).

Dataset highlights:

• Longitudinal data available for 48% of individuals (≥2 tests)

• 73% of tests include reversibility (bronchodilator response) testing

• GLI-2012 reference values calculated using the rspiro R package

Data has been obtained from the following biobanks: Helsinki Biobank, Auria Biobank, Biobank of Eastern Finland, Borealis Biobank (Northern Finland), Central Finland Biobank and Finnish Clinical Biobank Tampere.
