Abstract:
Pulmonary health is a key aspect of modern medicine, covering all age groups, from neonatology to gerontology. The article addresses the impact of genetic factors, environment, and human lifestyle on the development of respiratory diseases. Particular attention is paid to the role of genetic predisposition, embryonic disorders, and external factors such as air pollutants and tobacco smoking in the development of chronic lung diseases. Data on the structural and functional development of the respiratory system, its age-related changes, and the risks associated with the involution of the lung tissue are presented. An interdisciplinary approach, including cooperation between pediatricians, therapists, and pulmonologists, is essential for the early diagnosis and effective treatment of respiratory diseases. Particular attention is paid to the impact of new scientific advances, including genomic research and artificial intelligence systems, on diagnosing and treating respiratory diseases.

Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
