Correlation of neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio with lung function in American adults: a population study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic respiratory diseases pose a significant threat to global health, underscoring the urgent need for effective preventative and therapeutic interventions. The neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NPAR), an emerging biomarker for inflammation and nutritional status, has shown promising associations with respiratory health, necessitating an investigation into its potential for predicting lung function decline.

Objective

This study aimed to delineate the relationship between the NPAR and pulmonary function within a sample of the American adult population and assess the viability of the NPAR as a prognostic indicator for compromised lung function.

Methods

With data available from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for the years 2007 to 2
