Normal PaO₂ is 80 to 100 mm Hg in persons younger than 60 years.The formula for determining PaO₂ for a person older than 60 years of age is 80 mm Hg minus 1 mm Hg for every year of age above 60 years of age, for example, 70 years old = 80 mm Hg - 10 mm Hg = 70 mm Hg; 84 years old = 80 mm Hg - 20 mm Hg = 60 mm Hg; and 68 years old = 80 mm Hg - 8 mm Hg = 72 mm Hg.
