Core Tip	Spirometry is usually taken as a marker of the disease and its progression independently of the condition. In the present review we partly challenge this notion by examining the role of different obstructive and restrictive lung diseases on a series of mechanisms that strongly affect the main spirometric parameters. Among them is thoracic gas compression volume, the volume and time history of the inspiratory manoeuvre that precedes the forced expiration, the effects of heterogeneous distribution of the disease across the respiratory system, and the changes in lung elastic recoil.
