    Comparison of Respiratory Disease Prevalence among Voluntary Monitoring Systems for Pig Health and Welfare in the UK.

    PloS one·2015

    Cigarette smoking significantly impairs lung function, particularly the forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1.0). Current smokers, especially high-tar users, experience the most rapid decline in FEV1.0 over time compared to quitters and never-smokers.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Respiratory Medicine
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for respiratory diseases.
    • Longitudinal studies are crucial for understanding the impact of smoking on lung function decline.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the long-term effects of smoking status on lung function.
    • To compare spirometric measures between smokers, quitters, and never-smokers over a decade.

    Main Methods:

    • Serial spirometry measuring forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1.0).
    • Analysis of data from 268 male smokers, 181 quitters, and 254 never-smokers over 10 years.
    • Repeated measures ANOVA with time and smoking status as independent variables.

    Main Results:

    • Lung function (FVC and FEV1.0) was significantly related to smoking status.
    • Nonsmokers exhibited the best spirometry results, while current smokers performed the worst.
    • Current smokers, particularly high-tar consumers, showed the most pronounced decline in FEV1.0 over time.

    Conclusions:

    • Smoking status is a critical determinant of lung function.
    • Cessation of smoking may mitigate the accelerated decline in FEV1.0.
    • While FVC decline was not smoking-dependent, FEV1.0 decline highlights the detrimental effects of smoking on airflow obstruction.
