Recent studies have suggested the role of childhood BMI interventions for preventing suboptimal adult lung function. More ...

An abnormal BMI in children -- be it high or low -- can now be associated with impaired lung function, but if their BMI is ...

Melanie Hoenig was teaching first-year medical students how to estimate kidney function when one of them, Cameron Nutt, raised his hand. Why, he asked, did the diagnostic algorithm include an ...

One in ten people has reduced lung function development in childhood and cannot achieve maximal lung capacity in adulthood, ...

Op-ed: Intelligent speed assistance could prevent thousands of crashes like the one that changed my life forever – if our leaders dare to stand against the auto industry.

The present study includes 3,200 participants with at least four BMI measurements. Lung function was measured using spirometry at the ages of 8, 16 and, finally, 24, at which point the function of ...

In a post Gideon Horner is seen holding his breath for one minute as a timer ticks down from A to B claiming that those who can do so are in a prestigious group of only one in 20 people.

The researchers conducted spirometry tests to gauge respiratory function, and assessed lung mechanics by impulse oscillometry, a technique that uses sound waves to measure resistance to the normal ...
