Concordance between FVC and FEV<sub>6</sub> for identifying chronic airflow obs...
Knox-Brown, Ben; Potts, James; Franssen, Frits M. E.; Nielsen, Rune; Denguezli, Meriem; Rotevatn, Anders Ørskov; Juvekar, Sanjay K.Introduction: We investigated whether the forced expiratory volume in 6 s (FEV6) can be used as a surrogate for the forced vital capacity (FVC). Methods: The Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease is a multinational cohort study. At baseline, data were collected from adults aged 40 years or older, from 41 sites across 34 countries. Participants from 18 sites were followed up after a median of 8.3 years. Participant...
Chronic airflow obstruction and ambient particulate air pollution
Amaral, Andre F.; Burney, Peter G.; Patel, Jaymini; Minelli, Cosetta; Mejza, Filip; Mannino, David M.; Seemungal, Terence A.; Mahesh, Padukudru AnandSmoking is the most well-established cause of chronic airflow obstruction (CAO) but particulate air pollution and poverty have also been implicated. We regressed the sex-specific prevalence of CAO from 41 Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease study sites against smoking prevalence from the same study, the gross national income per capita, and the local annual mean level of ambient particulate matter (PM2.5) using ...
