IMPAIRED PULMONARY FUNCTION AS A RISK FACTOR FOR MORTALITY
Abstract
Prospective follow-up information obtained between 1976 and 1981 on mortality among 2539 individuals showed that pulmonary function impairment is a risk factor for short-term mortality, even when risk factors such as age, sex, and smoking are considered. Predicted risk curves for impaired individuals (those with forced expiratory volume in one second less than 68% of forced vital capacity) are consistently higher among all race-sex categories over all ages. Survival analysis using the proportional hazards model shows a steeper decline in estimated survival among individuals with poor pulmonary function compared to those with good pulmonary function, adjusted for age, race, and smoking effects. These observations are consistent with the concept that impairment of pulmonary function is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality from several nonrespiratory as well as respiratory diseases and that it acts by contributing to various pathogenic mechanisms in different organ systems.

“Age-related physiologic changes in the respiratory system As early as the 1980s, it was appreciated that lung function plays an integral role in healthy aging, as decreased pulmonary reserve is a risk factor for morbidity andmortality for both respiratory and non-respiratory illness (Beaty et al., 1982).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
