The aim of our study was to determine if the spatial distribution of ventilation assessed by EIT during quiet breathing was influenced by biological sex.\n                    <jats:italic>Approach.<\/jats:italic>\n                    219 adults with no known acute or chronic lung disease were examined in sitting position with the EIT electrodes placed around the lower chest (6th intercostal space). EIT data were recorded at 33 images\/s during quiet breathing for 60 s. Regional tidal impedance variation was calculated in all EIT image pixels and the spatial distribution of the values was determined using the established EIT measures of centre of ventilation in ventrodorsal (CoV\n                    <jats:sub>vd<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) and right-to-left direction (CoV\n                    <jats:sub>rl<\/jats:sub>\n                    ), the dorsal and right fraction of ventilation, and ventilation defect score.\n                    <jats:italic>Main results.<\/jats:italic>\n                    After exclusion of one subject due to insufficient electrode contact, 218 data sets were analysed (120 men, 98 women) (age: 53 \u00b1 18 vs 50 \u00b1 16 yr (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.2607), body mass index: 26.4 \u00b1 4.0 vs 26.4 \u00b1 6.6 kg m\n                    <jats:sup>\u22122<\/jats:sup>\n                    (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.9158), mean \u00b1 SD).
