Diet, lung function, and lung function decline in a cohort of 2512 middle aged men.
BACKGROUND A prospective cohort study of 2512 Welshmen aged 45-59 living in Caerphilly in 1979-1983 was used to investigate associations between diet and lung function. METHODS At baseline (phase I) and at five year follow up (phase II), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)) was measured using a McDermott spirometer and dietary data were obtained using a semi-quantitative food frequ...
متن کاملRespiratory function and bronchial responsiveness among industrial workers exposed to different classes of occupational agents: a study from Algeria
Occupational exposures play a role in the onset of several chronic airway diseases. We investigated, in a cross-sectional study, lung function parameters and bronchial hyper-responsiveness to histamine in workers exposed to different airborne compounds.The study group totalled 546 male subjects of whom 114 were exposed to welding fumes, 106 to solvents, 107 to mineral dust, 97 to organic dust a...
متن کاملImaging Phenotype of Occupational Endotoxin-Related Lung Function Decline
BACKGROUND Although occupational exposures contribute to a significant proportion of obstructive lung disease, the phenotype of obstructive lung disease associated with work-related organic dust exposure independent of smoking remains poorly defined. OBJECTIVE We identified the relative contributions of smoking and occupational endotoxin exposure to parenchymal and airway remodeling as define...
متن کاملDoes occupational exposure to brown coal dust cause a decline in lung function?
OBJECTIVES To determine if the rate of change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) in subjects with high exposure to Latrobe Valley brown coal dust was significantly greater than the rate of change among subjects with low exposure. METHODS A retrospective dynamic cohort design with variable time windows. This study was conducted over a period of 14 years from 1980 to 1994 and used...
متن کاملReduced Lung Function and Progression to Prediabetes: A Prospective Study
Objective: Prediabetes is a state that people have blood glucose levels higher than normal but still not in diabetes range. There is a close relationship between impaired lung function and diabetes mellitus (DM). Reduced lung function can be present before the clinical evidence of diabetes or insulin resistance. Materials and Methods: The total number of subjects in this longitudinal study was ...
