1. Longitudinal validity of spirometers: a challenge in longitudinal studies (Publications)

   Longitudinal validity of spirometers: a challenge in longitudinal studies

   Relevance:

   QUESTION UNDER STUDY: Pulmonary function testing (PFT) in longitudinal studies involves the repeated use of spirometers over long time periods. We assess the comparability of PFT results taken under b

2. Adult lung function and long-term air pollution exposure. ESCAPE: a multicentre cohort study and meta-analysis (Publications)

   Adult lung function and long-term air pollution exposure. ESCAPE: a multicentre cohort study and meta-analysis

   Relevance:

   The chronic impact of ambient air pollutants on lung function in adults is not fully understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the association of long-term exposure to ambient air pol

3. Causal and synthetic associations of variants in the SERPINA gene cluster with alpha1-antitrypsin serum levels (Publications)

   Causal and synthetic associations of variants in the SERPINA gene cluster with alpha1-antitrypsin serum levels

   Relevance:

   Several infrequent genetic polymorphisms in the SERPINA1 gene are known to substantially reduce concentration of alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) in the blood. Since low AAT serum levels fail to protect pulmo

4. Large-scale genome-wide association studies and meta-analyses of longitudinal change in adult lung function (Publications)

   Large-scale genome-wide association studies and meta-analyses of longitudinal change in adult lung function

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous loci influencing cross-sectional lung function, but less is known about genes influencing longitudinal change in lung functi

7. Variability of reproductive history across the Swiss SAPALDIA cohort - Pattern and main determinants (Publications)

   Variability of reproductive history across the Swiss SAPALDIA cohort - Pattern and main determinants

   Relevance:

   Background: Reproductive characteristics play an aetiological role for many diseases, including reproductive cancers. They have been shown to vary internationally and nationally, but have not yet been

8. Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of 21,000 cases and 95,000 controls identifies new risk loci for atopic dermatitis (Publications)

   Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of 21,000 cases and 95,000 controls identifies new risk loci for atopic dermatitis

   Relevance:

   Genetic association studies have identified 21 loci associated with atopic dermatitis risk predominantly in populations of European ancestry. To identify further susceptibility loci for this common, c

10. Long-term physical activity is associated with reduced arterial stiffness in older adults: longitudinal results of the SAPALDIA cohort study (Publications)

    Long-term physical activity is associated with reduced arterial stiffness in older adults: longitudinal results of the SAPALDIA cohort study

    Relevance:

    BACKGROUND: longitudinal analyses of physical activity (PA) and arterial stiffness in populations of older adults are scarce. We examined associations between long-term change of PA and arterial stiff
