Prevalence of airflow obstruction in smokers and never-smokers in Switzerland.
The aim of the present study was to measure age-specific prevalence of airflow obstruction in Switzerland in smokers and never-smokers using pulmonary function tests and respiratory symptoms from 6,126 subjects participating in the Swiss Cohort Study on Air Pollution and Lung Diseases in Adults. The lower limit of normal of the forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity ratio was use...

متن کاملPrevalence and correlates of airflow obstruction in ∼317 000 never-smokers in China
In China, the burden of chronic obstructive disease (COPD) is high in never-smokers but little is known about its causes in this group. We analysed data on 287 000 female and 30 000 male never-smokers aged 30-79 years from 10 regions in China, who participated in the China Kadoorie Biobank baseline survey (2004-2008). Prevalence of airflow obstruction (AFO) (pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory...
متن کاملSex differences in emphysema phenotype in smokers without airflow obstruction.
Data on sex differences in emphysema are limited to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We aimed to verify whether such differences also exist in smokers without airflow obstruction, weighting their influence on the relationship between emphysema and clinical features. We evaluated both clinical and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) data of 1,011 heavy smokers recruited by a lung canc...
متن کاملParameters associated with persistent airflow obstruction in chronic severe asthma.
The significance of severe airflow obstruction in severe asthma is unclear. The current study determined whether severe airflow obstruction is related to inflammatory or structural changes in the airways. Patients with severe asthma from a tertiary referral clinic were divided into two groups according to their postbronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1): severe persistent ...
