Adverse childhood experiences and asthma: trajectories in a national cohort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objective Research has linked early adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) with asthma development; however, existing studies have generally relied on parent report of exposure and outcome. We aimed to examine the association ... -
Body mass index and weight change are associated with adult lung function trajectories: the prospective ECRHS study
(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 ... -
Breathlessness across generations: results from the RHINESSA generation study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Breathlessness is a major cause of suffering and disability globally. The symptom relates to multiple factors including asthma and lung function, which are influenced by hereditary factors. No study has evaluated ... -
Chronic airflow obstruction and ambient particulate air pollution
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)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
(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 ... -
Tracking of lung function from 10 to 35 years after being born extremely preterm or with extremely low birth weight
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Lifelong pulmonary consequences of being born extremely preterm or with extremely low birth weight remain unknown. We aimed to describe lung function trajectories from 10 to 35 years of age for individuals ...
