Summary

Attainment of peak healthy lung function during the 18-26 yr window is a strong determinant of the rate of lung function decline during the later years of life. The attainment of a healthy peak lung function is mediated by pre and peri natal exposures ( in utero environment and nutrition) and exposure to environmental toxicants and nutrition during childhood and early adulthood. Towards this Indian birth cohorts, having collected comprehensive data on maternal nutrition and anthropometry can provide invaluable insight into the factors affecting lung function growth and their effect sizes in the Indian population. Therefore, in this observational study, the Investigator will be collecting data on lung function, current nutritional and environmental exposures and linking it to pre and peri natal data of the same participants in order to understand lung function growth and the reasons for an early decline in the Indian population, using a life course approach.

Conditions

  • Early Adult Lung Function
  • Small Airway Disease
  • Metabolic Syndrome

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Forced Oscillation Technique

F.O.T. method can be used to assess obstruction in the large and small peripheral airways , Changes in lung volumes will be measured using a digital spirometer . Every participant will be asked to sit straight, seal the mouthpiece completely with their lips, breathe in fully, blow as hard as possible into the mouthpiece, emptying the lungs completely., Whole blood collected on site (20 mL from every participant, for about 23 metabolites) will be separated into cells and serum. A detailed questionnaire assessing respiratory health, demographic data, habits, and environmental exposure has been developed and validated by Chest Research Foundation.
