Lifetime spirometry patterns of obstruction and restriction, and their risk factors and outcomes: a prospective cohort study

Shyamali C. Dharmage et al.

Summary: This study is the first to characterize lifetime phenotypes of obstruction and restriction simultaneously using objective data-driven techniques. Early interventions might be beneficial for individuals with mixed and obstructive-only patterns, while those with restrictive-only pattern are at increased risk of true lung restriction and multiple morbidities in middle age.

Changes in lung function in European adults born between 1884 and 1996 and implications for the diagnosis of lung disease: a cross-sectional analysis of ten population-based studies

James P. Allinson et al.

Summary: Socioeconomic and scientific advances have led to improvements in lung function among European populations, which may impact the interpretation of lung function measurements and the diagnosis of lung diseases. Analysis of cross-sectional data from ten European population-based studies revealed an increase in FEV1 and FVC values over the past century, while the FEV1/FVC ratio decreased.

Pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: understanding the contributions of gene-environment interactions across the lifespan

Alva Agusti et al.

Summary: Recent research findings challenge the traditional view of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as solely caused by smoking in genetically susceptible individuals. Instead, COPD is now understood as the potential end result of gene-environment interactions accumulated over an individual's lifetime. Future research should aim to understand the dynamic interactions between genes and the environment by integrating information from basic and clinical omics with exposures over time. Additionally, COPD should be viewed as a clinical syndrome rather than a single disease.

Official ERS technical standard: Global Lung Function Initiative reference values for static lung volumes in individuals of European ancestry

Graham L. Hall et al.

Summary: This study developed multi-ethnic reference equations for lung volume indices in individuals of European ancestry using the Global Lung Function Initiative methodology. The derived equations provide a standard for reporting and interpreting lung volume measurements in individuals of European ancestry.

Spirometry: A practical lifespan predictor of global health and chronic respiratory and non-respiratory diseases

Alvar Agusti et al.

Summary: The article proposes that spirometry is an overlooked global health marker that can be used to monitor human health and predict risks of chronic diseases. It emphasizes the importance of spirometry in assessing respiratory health and identifying individuals at risk of both respiratory and non-respiratory diseases. The authors suggest that spirometry can be a reproducible, non-invasive, safe, and affordable global health marker throughout the lifespan, serving as an early warning system to save lives.

Lung function trajectory and biomarkers in the Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study

Dinh S. Bui et al.

Summary: This study found that circulating levels of CRP and CC16 measured in late adulthood can differentiate between different lung function trajectories, aiding in predicting the risk of developing COPD.

Supernormal lung function and risk of COPD: A contemporary population-based cohort study

Yunus Colak et al.

Summary: Individuals with supernormal lung function have a lower risk of developing COPD, with none developing COPD within 10 years. They have fewer early-life risk factors and smoking exposure, and also have lower risks of hospitalization for acute obstructive lung disease, pneumonia, and all-cause mortality compared to those with normal lung function.
