Occupational exposures and small airway obstruction in the UK Biobank Cohort

Disease Areas:
Population study
Device Types:
Pneumotrac, Spirotrac

This study used data from 65,145 individuals enrolled in the UK Biobank to identify occupational risk factors for small airway obstruction. Spirometric endpoints included FEV1, FVC, and FEV1/FVC ratio, which were measured using a calibrated Vitalograph Pneumotrac spirometer. FEV3, FEV6, and FEF25–75 values were extracted from the raw data in order to define small airway obstruction.
