Study of five European cohorts found no association between residential greenness or urban green space and lung function throughout childhood and adolescence.
Un estudio reciente en Osona (Cataluña) refleja que 20,7% de jóvenes presenta alteraciones espirométricas. También revela síntomas y factores de riesgo en la población joven ambulatoria.
Protocolised treatable trait-based asthma management was acceptable to patients not under the care of a severe asthma clinic, associated with significant clinical benefit, and a full trial appears feasible.
Airway mucous plugging is associated with exacerbations, lung function decline, and mortality in COPD, asthma, and bronchiectasis. Identifying it as a treatable trait may improve patient outcomes through airway clearance techniques and pharmacological strategies.
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.
Explore Treatable Traits model for chronic airway diseases like asthma and COPD in primary care. Learn about seven key traits — airflow obstruction, eosinophilic inflammation, adherence, inhaler technique, smoking, low BMI/obesity and anxiety and depression — that guide personalized care.
