121(3):558-566.
PMID: 40044394
Background: PUFAs, especially from vegetable fat sources, have been suggested to contribute to weight regulation and be protective to cardiometabolic health. However, a few longitudinal studies on childhood exposure are...

Lancet Child Adolesc Health
. 2025 Feb;
9(3):172-183.
PMID: 39978992
Background: Lung function during childhood is an important predictor of subsequent health and disease. Understanding patterns of lung function and development of airflow limitation through childhood is necessary to inform...

Allergy
. 2025 Feb;
PMID: 39907155
Background: Asthma exacerbations (AEs) represent the major contributor to the global asthma burden. Although genetic and environmental factors have been associated with AEs, the role of epigenetics remains uncovered. Objective:...

Environ Int
. 2025 Jan;
196:109269.
PMID: 39862723
Background: The independent and interrelated long-term effects of the exposome such as air pollution, greenness, and ambient temperature on lung function are not well understood, yet relevant in the light...

Respirology
. 2025 Jan;
PMID: 39800892
Background: Some individuals never achieve normal peak FEV in early adulthood. It is unknown if this is due to airflow limitation and/or lung restriction. Methods: To investigate this, we: (1)...

Respir Res
. 2025 Jan;
26(1):10.
PMID: 39794761
Background: In COPD, the balance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their natural inhibitors [tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs)] is shifted towards excessive degradation, reflected in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) as increased...

ERJ Open Res
. 2024 Dec;
10(6).
PMID: 39655169
Background: Asthma is associated with impaired lung function; however, it is uncertain if a lower childhood lung function is associated with asthma onset and persistence during adolescence. The aims of...
