Journal ArticleDOI

Regular physical activity reduces hospital admission and mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a population based cohort study

TL;DR: The recommendation that COPD patients be encouraged to maintain or increase their levels of regular physical activity should be considered in future COPD guidelines, since it is likely to result in a relevant public health benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regular physical activity modifies smoking-related lung function decline and reduces risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a population-based cohort study.

TL;DR: This prospective study shows that moderate to high levels of regular physical activity are associated with reduced lung function decline and COPD risk among smokers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and prospective validation of clinically relevant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) subtypes

TL;DR: In patients with COPD recruited at their first hospitalisation, three different COPD subtypes were identified and prospectively validated: ‘severe respiratory COPD’, ‘moderate respiratory COPd’ and ‘systemic COPD'.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comorbidity of eczema, rhinitis, and asthma in IgE-sensitised and non-IgE-sensitised children in MeDALL: a population-based cohort study

TL;DR: Coexistence of eczema, rhinitis, and asthma in the same child is more common than expected by chance alone-both in the presence and absence of IgE sensitisation-suggesting that these diseases share causal mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of the Development of Allergy (MeDALL): Introducing novel concepts in allergy phenotypes

Josep M. Antó, +89 more
TL;DR: The translational component of MeDALL is shown by the identification of a novel allergic phenotype characterized by polysensitization and multimorbidity, which is associated with the frequency, persistence, and severity of allergic symptoms.
