Patterns of dietary intake and relation to respiratory disease, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, and decline in 5-y forced expiratory volume [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2010 The independent effect of individual foods on the risk of respiratory disease is difficult to establish because intakes of specific foods are generally strongly correlated. To date, few studies have examined the relation between dietary food patterns and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)) or respiratory symptoms.The objective was to investigate ...

Forced expiratory volume in one second: why dichotomise? [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1992 Numerous epidemiological surveys have tried to evaluate the effects of exposures relevant to pulmon ary disease.1 A number of studies have analysed forced expiratory volume in one second (FEVJ using linear regression analysis, thus enabling adjustment for age, height, and sex as well as potential confound ing variables.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2-a potential genetic risk factor for lung function among southern Chinese: Evidence from the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study [PDF]
, 2014 Purpose: In Asia, moderate alcohol users have better lung function. Never users have more inactive aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) alleles (A) potentially generating confounding because inactive alleles may increase acetaldehyde exposure and reduce lung
