The Impact of Changes in the Intake of Fiber and Antioxidants on the Development of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

ABSTRACT: Diet is a health-related factor that can modify lung function. This study hypothesized that the change in age-related dietary intake affects lung function. The subjects who undertook a dietary assessment and spirometry in 2012 and 2017, were retrospectively collected in a health screening center. Dietary intakes were directly evaluated using food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) administered by trained dietitians and were compared at the baseline (2012) and 5-year follow-up (2017). A forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) value below 0.70 was defined as airflow limitation. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds ratio (ORs) adjusted for potential confounders. A total of 1439 subjects with normal spirometry were enrolled. New airflow limita
