Covariates from adulthood (53 years), which could mediate or confound the main associations of SEP with physical performance, were body size, physical activity, lung function, cognitive performance and disabling medical conditions.
Poorer lung function, physical performance status, and nutrition, as well as lower immunization among lung cancer patients with TB may influence the available treatment choices [ 19, 20].
Indices of lung function, cognitive performance and carotid artery plaque presence appear to be likewise affected by adverse early life conditions.
Table 5 explores in multivariate models the independence of the associations of early life variables with a range of health outcomes related to lung function, cognitive performance and carotid atherosclerosis.
A series of regression models was used to investigate outcome measures of (a) biomarkers of chronic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction and (b) adult lung function, cognitive performance and carotid atherosclerosis.
A similar phenomenon can be seen in Table 5 (Model 3) where childhood home circumstances identified as predictors in Model 1 were no longer associated significantly with measures of lung function, cognitive performance and carotid atherosclerosis.
Our present study assessed the interaction of chemical pollutants and psychological stress on subjective (i.e., symptoms) and objective (i.e., cortisol, lung function, neurobehavioral performance) indicators of health effects, while holding temperature, humidity, noise, and light constant.
Inhaled β2-agonists may cause differential effects on lung function and athletic performance in female compared to male athletes.
The objective of this study was to compare the effects of inhaled β2-agonists on lung function and cycling performance between female athletes with and without exercise-induced bronchoconstriction and with previously published data on men.
USC's Children's Health Study has studied the long-term effects of air pollution on children over the past 25 years and found that kids who move to areas with lower levels of pollution have improved lung function growth and performance.
