Association of Chronic Respiratory Symptoms With Incident Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality: Findings From the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Respiratory and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) frequently coexist; however, there is limited evidence on the relationship between chronic respiratory symptoms in young adulthood and late-onset CVD.

Research question

Are chronic respiratory symptoms in young adulthood associated with CVD and all-cause mortality in later life?

Study design and methods

A total of 4,621 participants from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study (CARDIA) cohort study aged 18 to 30 years were included. Chronic respiratory symptoms were identified through respiratory symptom questionnaires in two consecutive examinations. Incident CVD and all-cause mortality were adjudicated over 30-year follow-up. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to explor
