About the Book

Lung size, function and health: Reappraising the epidemiology of chronic lung disease in adults proposes an alternative perspective to the current dominant explanations for the distribution of chronic lung disease. This book considers the link between chronic respiratory disease and associated mortality with smaller lungs rather than obstructed airways, and explores other factors contributing to poor lung health besides the current emphasis on the roles of air pollution, occupational exposures, and cardio-metabolic disease. It presents the findings of the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease (BOLD) study, sharing new views on the prevalence of obstructive lung disease and its risk factors across various regions in the world.

Lung Size, Function and Health: Reappraising the Epidemiology of Chronic Lung Disease in Adults explores a variety of factors surrounding decreased lung function, including the prevalent views on the impact of both household and external air pollution, occupational exposure, and the prenatal and postnatal/childhood environment in the etiology of impaired lung function and COPD. It then moves on to discussion of the impact poverty and nutrition has on lung health, sharing the findings of the BOLD study regarding its effect on lung function and risk of COPD in lower-income countries. The book closes with a chapter outlining the clinical and public health implications of the findings discussed in the book. This concise volume provides novel insights into the causes of lung impairment and sets a new precedent for future research into potential treatments, making it an ideal resource for those working in the area of respiratory medicine and related fields.
