Birth weight and adult lung function
Since the maximum possible score becomes 7, we defined severe pneumonia as a score >4 for the CURB-age criteria compared with >3 for CURB-65. The subjects were 189 patients (median age 75 years, range 17–96, 56.1% men) who were included in two prospective observational studies of CAP. Detailed methodology has been reported previously. 5 Using CURB-65 there were 109 non-severe cases (57.7%) and ...

متن کاملAssociations between birth weight, early childhood weight gain and adult lung function.
BACKGROUND Low birth weight is associated with lower values for spirometry in adults but it is not known if birth weight influences other measures of pulmonary function. It is also unclear whether postnatal growth affects adult lung function. The associations between birth weight, postnatal growth and adult lung function were assessed in an unselected birth cohort of 1037 children. METHODS Bi...
متن کاملBirth weight, childhood lower respiratory tract infection, and adult lung function.
BACKGROUND Historical cohort studies in England have found that impaired fetal growth and lower respiratory tract infections in early childhood are associated with lower levels of lung function in late adult life. These relations are investigated in a similar study in Scotland. METHODS In 1985-86 a follow up study was carried out of 1070 children who had been born in St Andrew's from 1921 to ...
متن کاملRelationship between birth weight and adult lung function: controlling for maternal factors.
BACKGROUND There is conflicting evidence on the "fetal origins hypothesis" of association between birth weight and adult lung function. This may be due to failure to control for confounding maternal factors influencing birth weight. In the present study access to birth details for adults aged 45-50 years who were documented as children to have asthma, wheezy bronchitis, or no respiratory sympto...
