Universal longitudinal spirometry from childhood: GOLD proposes monitoring lung function trajectories to preserve lifelong respiratory health.
Blood biomarkers including CC16, sRAGE and SPD identify pre-COPD lung function trajectories and may improve early COPD risk detection and prevention.
Discover how early-life genetic and environmental factors contribute to COPD and how emerging strategies aim to detect and intercept the disease early. Review from the European Respiratory Review, July 2025
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.
