Journal ArticleDOI
International variation in the prevalence of COPD (The BOLD Study): a population-based prevalence study
A. Sonia Buist,Mary Ann McBurnie,William M. Vollmer,Suzanne Gillespie,Peter Burney,David M. Mannino,Ana Maria Menezes,Sean D. Sullivan,Todd A. Lee,Kevin B. Weiss,Robert L. Jensen,Guy B. Marks,Amund Gulsvik,Ewa Nizankowska-Mogilnicka +13 more
TL;DR: This worldwide study showed higher levels and more advanced staging of spirometrically confirmed COPD than have typically been reported and variations in disease prevalence-other factors also seem to be important.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using the lower limit of normal for the FEV1/FVC ratio reduces the misclassification of airway obstruction
Maureen P. Swanney,Gregg L Ruppel,Paul L. Enright,Ole F. Pedersen,Robert O. Crapo,Martin R. Miller,Robert L. Jensen,Emanuela Falaschetti,Jan P. Schouten,John L. Hankinson,Janet Stocks,Philip H. Quanjer +11 more
TL;DR: Airway obstruction should be defined byFEV1/FVC and FEV1 being below the LLN using appropriate reference equations, and marked negative age dependency is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
2017 ERS/ATS standards for single-breath carbon monoxide uptake in the lung
Brian L. Graham,Vito Brusasco,Felip Burgos,Brendan G Cooper,Robert L. Jensen,Adrian H. Kendrick,Neil R. MacIntyre,Bruce Thompson,J. Wanger +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an update to the European Respiratory Society (ERS)/American Thoracic Society (ATS) technical standards for single-breath carbon monoxide uptake in the lung that was last updated in 2005.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammatory markers are associated with ventilatory limitation and muscle dysfunction in obstructive lung disease in well functioning elderly subjects
Sachin Yende,Grant W. Waterer,Elizabeth A. Tolley,Anne B. Newman,Doug C. Bauer,Dennis R. Taaffe,Robert L. Jensen,Robert O. Crapo,Susan M. Rubin,Michael C. Nevitt,Eleanor M. Simonsick,Suzanne Satterfield,Tamara B. Harris,Stephen B. Kritchevsky +13 more
TL;DR: In well functioning elderly subjects with or without OLD, IL-6 is associated with reduced FEV1, quadriceps strength, and exercise capacity, and in participants with OLD and those with normal spirometry, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) was associated with IL- 6.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease Initiative (BOLD): rationale and design.
A. Sonia Buist,William M. Vollmer,Sean D. Sullivan,Kevin B. Weiss,Todd A. Lee,Todd A. Lee,Ana Maria Menezes,Robert O. Crapo,Robert O. Crapo,Robert L. Jensen,Robert L. Jensen,Peter Burney +11 more
TL;DR: The Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease (BOLD) Initiative has developed a set of methods for estimating COPD prevalence and a model for assessing its economic impact, and piloted these methods in China and Turkey.
