      Background Previous studies have reported an association between weight increase and excess lung function decline in young adults followed for short periods. We aimed to estimate lung function trajectories during adulthood ...
    • Can spirometric norms be set using pre- or post- bronchodilator test results in older people? 

      Kato, Bernet; Gulsvik, Amund; Vollmer, William; Janson, Christer; Studnika, Michael; Buist, Sonia; Burney, Peter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11-16)
      Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is defined by post-bronchodilator spirometry. Data on “normal values” come predominantly from pre-bronchodilator spirometry. The effects of this on diagnosis are ...
    • The coexistence of asthma and COPD: risk factors, clinical history and lung function trajectories 

      Marcon, Alessandro; Locatelli, Francesca; Dharmage, Shyamali C.; Svanes, Cecilie; Heinrich, Joachim; Leynaert, Bénédicte; Burney, Peter; Corsico, Angelo; Caliskan, Gulser; Calciano, Lucia; Gislason, Thorarinn; Janson, Christer; Jarvis, Deborah; Jõgi, Rain; Lytras, Theodore; Malinovschi, Andrei; Probst-Hensch, Nicole; Toren, Kjell; Casas, Lidia; Verlato, Giuseppe; Garcia-Aymerich, Judith; Accordini, Simone (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Patients with concomitant features of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a heavy disease burden. Using data collected prospectively in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey, we ...
    • Latitude, Birth Date, and Allergy 

      Wjst, Matthias; Dharmage, Shyamali; André, Elisabeth; Norbäck, Dan; Raherison, Chantal; Villani, Simona; Manfreda, Jure; Sunyer, Jordi; Jarvis, Deborah; Burney, Peter; Svanes, Cecilie (PLoS Medicine 2(10): e294, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2005-10-04)
      Background: The space and time distribution of risk factors for allergic diseases may provide insights into disease mechanisms. Allergy is believed to vary by month of birth, but multinational studies taking into account ...
