Abstract

The impact of past and current asthma on ventilatory function was assessed among young adults born in Britain March 3-9, 1958 who had been followed from birth to ages 7, 11, 16, 23, and 33 yr. We compared 1,060 subjects with a history of asthma, wheezy bronchitis, or wheezing with 275 control subjects with no history of chest illness. Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) were measured at 34-35 yr of age before and 20 min after inhalation of 400 micrograms salbutamol, and adjusted for sex, height, and smoking by multiple regression. Among 551 cases reporting no wheeze in the year before examination, ventilatory function after salbutamol did not differ significantly from the controls, except for FEV1 in 192 subjects with transient wheezing before age 7 (p < 0.05). Among 509 cases reporting wheeze in the past year, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratio were reduced to a greater extent in those with an earlier age of onset of wheeze (p < 0.001 for trend in each case). These relative reductions were greater if wheezing had persisted through childhood and adolescence, and were only partially reversed by inhalation of salbutamol. Progressive pulmonary changes related to chronic asthma may be an important mec...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
