Belo, Joana; Carreiro-Martins, Pedro; Papoila, Ana L.; Palmeiro, Teresa; Caires, Iolanda; Alves, Marta; Nogueira, Susana; Aguiar, Fátima; Mendes, AnaIn the Portuguese Geriatric Study of the Health Effects of Indoor Air Quality in Senior Nursing Homes, we aimed to evaluate the impact of indoor air contaminants on the respiratory symptoms and biomarkers in a sample of elderly living in nursing homes. A total of 269 elderly answered a health questionnaire, performed a spirometry and 150 out of these collected an exhaled breath condensate sample for pH and nitr...

Belo, Joana; Carreiro-Martins, Pedro; Papoila, Ana L.; Palmeiro, Teresa; Caires, Iolanda; Alves, Marta; Nogueira, Susana; Aguiar, Fátima; Mendes, AnaIn general, seven million deads are dur to the indoor and outdoor environment exposure. The elderly are identified as the one of the principal risk groups: the progressive decline of biological functions; cumulative environmental exposure; 90% of the time is in indoor spaces. The main goal of this study was to describe the impact of environmental exposure from the point of view of IAQ in respiratory health in a...
Reference values for spirometry in elderly individuals: a cross-sectional study...
Belo, Joana; Palmeiro, Teresa; Caires, Iolanda; Papoila, Ana L.; Alves, Marta; Carreiro-Martins, Pedro; Botelho, Maria A.; Neuparth, NunoBackground: Spirometry is the single most important test for the evaluation of the respiratory function. The results are interpreted by comparing measured data with predicted values previously obtained from a reference population. Reference equations for spirometry have been discussed previously. The aim of this study was to compare reference values based on National Health and Nutrition Assessment Survey (NHAN...
