• Association of adult lung function with accelerated biological aging 

      Rezwan, Faizal I; Imboden, Medea; Amaral, André F.S.; Wielscher, Matthias; Jeong, Ayoung; Triebner, Kai; Gomez Real, Francisco; Jarvelin, Marjo-Riitta; Jarvis, Deborah; Probst-Hensch, Nicole M; Holloway, John W (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Lung function, strongly associated with morbidity and mortality, decreases with age. This study examines whether poor adult lung function is associated with age accelerations (AAs). DNA methylation (DNAm) based AAs, lifespan ...
    • Body mass index and weight change are associated with adult lung function trajectories: the prospective ECRHS study 

      Peralta, Gabriela P.; Marcon, Alessandro; Carsin, Anne-Elie; Abramson, Michael J.; Accordini, Simone; Amaral, André F.S.; Antó, Josep Maria; Bowatte, Gayan; Burney, Peter; Corsico, Angelo; Demoly, Pascal; Dharmage, Shyamali C.; Forsberg, Bertil; Fuertes, Elaine; Garcia-Larsen, Vanessa; Gislason, Thorarinn; Gullón, José-Antonio; Heinrich, Joachim; Holm, Mathias; Jarvis, Deborah; Janson, Christer; Jõgi, Rain; Johannessen, Ane; Leynaert, Bénédicte; Rovira, Jesús Martínez-Moratalla; Nowak, Dennis; Probst-Hensch, Nicole; Raherison, Chantal; Sánchez-Ramos, José Luis; Sigsgaard, Torben; Siroux, Valérie; Squillacioti, Giulia; Urrutia, Isabel; Weyler, Joost; Zock, Jan-Paul; Garcia-Aymerich, Judith (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      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 ...
    • Chronic airflow obstruction and ambient particulate air pollution

      Smoking is the most well-established cause of chronic airflow obstruction (CAO) but particulate air pollution and poverty have also been implicated. We regressed sex-specific prevalence of CAO from 41 Burden of Obstructive ...
    • Interaction between gas cooking and GSTM1 null genotype in bronchial responsiveness: Results from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey 

      Amaral, André F.S.; Ramasamy, Adaikalavan; Castro-Giner, Francesc; Minelli, Cosetta; Accordini, Simone; Sørheim, Inga Cecilie; Pin, Isabelle; Kogevinas, Manolis; Jõgi, Rain; Balding, David J.; Norbäck, Dan; Verlato, Guiseppe; Olivieri, Mario; Probst-Hensch, Nicole; Janson, Christer; Zock, Jan-Paul; Heinrich, Joachim; Jarvis, Deborah L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)
      Background: Increased bronchial responsiveness is characteristic of asthma. Gas cooking, which is a major indoor source of the highly oxidant nitrogen dioxide, has been associated with respiratory symptoms and reduced lung ...
