Longitudinal association between adiposity changes and lung function deterioration.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The longitudinal relationship between adiposity and lung function is controversial. We aimed to investigate the long-term association between adiposity changes and lung function in a middle-aged general Asian population.

Methods

In total, 5011 participants (average age, 54 years; 45% men) were enrolled from a community-based prospective cohort. During the follow-up period (median 8 years), both spirometry and bio-electrical impedance analysis were performed biannually. Individual slopes of the fat mass index (FMI; fat mass divided by the square of height in meters) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were calculated using linear regression analysis. Multivariate linear mixed regression analysis was used to determine the long-term association between adiposity changes and
