Objective Little is known about the effect of age at first childbirth on lung function. We aimed
to investigate the association between age at first childbirth and lung function in Chinese …

Background Birth weight, as a measure of intrauterine growth, is commonly used in
epidemiological studies and is reported to be associated with adult lung function. However …

Background Fetal growth disturbances may influence adult lung function and can lead to
pulmonary diseases in adulthood. Although the results of previous studies are controversial …

Background Previous studies have reported an association between low birth weight and
low adult lung function, but findings have not been consistent. The aim of this study was to …

Background: The aim of this study was to examine the associations between birth weight
and lung function in a cohort of women aged 60–79 years and to combine these results with …

OBJECTIVE: The goal was to determine whether the components of low lung function in
adulthood were associated with low birth weight in a Chinese population. METHODS: A …

Background Findings from previous studies investigating the relationship between birth
weight and adult lung function have been inconsistent, and data on birth weight and adult …

Rationale: There is evidence suggesting that birth weight may influence lung function in
adulthood, but it is unclear whether it might differentially affect restrictive (FVC) and …

Background: Obesity and decreased pulmonary function increase mortality and morbidity of
diseases. Obesity is a major factor of decreased pulmonary function. There are variable …

The potential impact of birthweight on adult lung function has been postulated, yet the
precise nature of this association in later life remains inconclusive. This study involved …
