Emphysema's effect on vital capacity increases as the disease progresses. Emphysema is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) which obstructs the passage of air out of the lungs. As a person exhales with emphysema, the airways close prematurely which reduces the exhalation volume thus reducing vital capacity.
Increased vital capacity
Four factors that can affect the vital capacity of a person are age (vital capacity decreases with age), gender (males tend to have higher vital capacity than females), height (taller individuals usually have higher vital capacity), and physical fitness level (regular exercise can increase vital capacity).

There are many reasons that could increase or decrease vital capacity in a person. Respiratory conditions are a major factor in how much air a person can take in.

the vital capacity of lungs is 3.5 liters to 4.5 litres
due to surface area. if you are taller your lungs will have a greater surface area which will raise the volume.
vital lung capacity is how much air remains in your lungs after you exhale
My vital capacity is 1650cc (Yes, it's very low, but I'm twelve and I'm small). cc is used to measure vital capacity.
bigger body surface area = bigger vital capacity
In a spirogram of a patient with emphysema, key lung values typically show a decreased forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and a reduced FEV1/FVC (forced vital capacity) ratio, indicating obstructive lung disease. Additionally, total lung capacity (TLC) may be increased due to air trapping, while residual volume (RV) is also elevated. These changes reflect the impaired airflow and hyperinflation characteristic of emphysema.
