Men have larger lung capacities than women. Tall people also have larger lung capacities than short people. It is said that people aged 20-25 have larger lung capacities than other age groups, Its because by the time you have reached your twenties your lungs have reached their full capacity, but when you are a kid then your lungs aren't fully developed so they don't have a large capacity. From when you are 20 your lung capacity starts going down so an old man has about the same lung capacity as a very small boy.
