Effects of Changes in Fresh Fruit Consumption on Ventilatory Function in Healthy British Adults
Abstract
Cross-sectional studies have shown frequent fresh fruit consumption to be associated with higher lung function in both children and adults. This relationship is investigated longitudinally in a national sample of 2,171 British adults age 18 to 73 initially examined in 1984, who were reexamined 7 yr later, and had no reported history of chronic respiratory disease throughout. Outcome was assessed by change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) between the two examinations, standardized for age, height, and sex and related to fresh fruit consumption estimated by food frequency questionnaires at both examinations. After adjustment for region, social class, and smoking, changes in fresh fruit consumption levels were positively associated with changes in FEV1 (p = 0.002), highlighted by a more marked fall in FEV1 (107 ml; 95% confidence interval, 36 to 178 ml) in subjects who reduced their fresh fruit consumption the greatest compared with those with no change. In contrast, average levels of fruit intake were not associated with change in FEV1 (p = 0.695). The implication is that the cross-sectional effects of fresh fruit consumption on ventilatory function appear to be reversible and not progressive, such that consistently low levels of fresh fruit intake do not appear to increase lung function decline.

“On the other hand, a number of epidemiological studies have shown the beneficial effects of n-3 fatty acids, vitamins, fruits and vegetables on lung functions and the risk of COPD [108,116,117,118,119,120,121,122].”

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.
