Empirical life course lung function trajectories from ages 4–80 using data from eight cohort studies in Europe and Australia.
Study of five European cohorts found no association between residential greenness or urban green space and lung function throughout childhood and adolescence.
Airflow limitation can worsen or improve from school age to adulthood at all severity levels. This study examines lung function changes and the impact of BMI and wheezing, highlighting key health interventions.
Survivors of preterm birth face increased risks of respiratory diseases, yet awareness among specialists is low. This study examines gaps in long-term care, highlighting the need for clear follow-up guidelines and improved communication between medical teams.
Discover the normal ranges of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) across different age groups in a respiratory healthy population. Based on 2,251 participants, this study identifies factors like age, body height, and eosinophil counts that influence FeNO levels.
Explore the causes of reduced FEV1 in early adulthood, with data from Lifelines and BAMSE cohorts. Findings highlight PRISm and airflow limitation origins, early identification in childhood, and differentiated clinical implications.
Explore how the COVID-19 Sentinel Schools Network of Catalonia monitored CO2 and NO2 levels in classrooms, revealing key findings on ventilation and air quality in schools across Catalonia during the pandemic.
A study that identifies four lung function trajectories in children, highlighting that physical activity and BMI at 4 years predict catch-up lung function growth, particularly zFEV1, but not zFVC.
The latest episode of Coffee Talk sees co-chairs of the ERS Clinical Research Collaboration CADSET, Prof. Erik Melén and Prof. Rosa Faner, catch up to discuss the topic of the new lung function tracker tool.
Lung-function development can be altered by several host and environmental factors during the life course. As a result, a range of lung-function trajectories exist in the population.
