Associations between spirometric impairments and microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study. BMJ Open 2023; 13:e075209. [PMID: 37903605 PMCID: PMC10619106 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-075209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/01/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evidence shows that the conventional cardiometabolic risk factors do not fully explain the burden of microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes (T2D). One potential factor is the impact of pulmonary dysfunction on systemic microvascular injury. We assessed the associations between spirometric impairments and systemic microvascular complications in T2D. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING National Diabetes Management and Research Centre in Ghana. PARTICIPANTS The study included 464 Ghanaians aged ≥35 years with established diagnosis of T2D without primary myocardial disease or previous/current heart failure. Participants were excluded if they had primary lung disease including asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The associations of spirometric measures (forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC ratio) with microvascular complications (nephropathy (albumin-creatinine ratio ≥3 mg/g), neuropathy (vibration perception threshold ≥25 V and/or Diabetic Neuropathy Symptom score >1) and retinopathy (based on retinal photography)) were assessed using multivariable logistic regression models with adjustments for age, sex, diabetes duration, glycated haemoglobin concentration, suboptimal blood pressure control, smoking pack years and body mass index. RESULTS In age and sex-adjusted models, lower Z-score FEV1 was associated with higher odds of nephropathy (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.19-2.02, p=0.001) and neuropathy (1.27 (1.01-1.65), 0.038) but not retinopathy (1.22 (0.87-1.70), 0.246). Similar observations were made for the associations of lower Z-score FVC with nephropathy (1.54 (1.19-2.01), 0.001), neuropathy (1.25 (1.01-1.54), 0.037) and retinopathy (1.19 (0.85-1.68), 0.318). In the fully adjusted model, the associations remained significant for only lower Z-score FEV1 with nephropathy (1.43 (1.09-1.87), 0.011) and neuropathy (1.34 (1.04-1.73), 0.024) and for lower Z-score FVC with nephropathy (1.45 (1.11-1.91), 0.007) and neuropathy (1.32 (1.03-1.69), 0.029). Lower Z-score FEV1/FVC ratio was not significantly associated with microvascular complications in age and sex and fully adjusted models. CONCLUSION Our study shows positive but varying strengths of associations between pulmonary dysfunction and microvascular complications in different circulations. Future studies could explore the mechanisms linking pulmonary dysfunction to microvascular complications in T2D.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive disease that affects > 10% of the total population worldwide or >800 million people. CKD poses a particularly heavy burden in low- and middle-income countries, which are least able to cope with its consequences. It has become one of the leading causes of death worldwide and is one of the few non-communicable diseases where the number of related deaths has increased over the last two decades. The high number of people affected, and the significant negative impact of CKD should be a reason to increase efforts to improve prevention and treatment. The interaction of lung and kidney leads to highly complex and difficult clinical scenarios. CKD significantly affects the physiology of the lung by altering fluid homeostasis, acid-base balance and vascular tone. In the lung, haemodynamic disturbances lead to the development of alterations in ventilatory control, pulmonary congestion, capillary stress failure and pulmonary vascular disease. In the kidney, haemodynamic disturbances lead to sodium and water retention and the deterioration of renal function. In this article, we would like to draw attention to the importance of harmonising the definitions of clinical events in pneumology and renal medicine. We would also like to highlight the need for pulmonary function tests in routine clinical practise for the management of patients with CKD, in order to find new concepts for pathophysiological based disease-specific management strategies.

Abstract
In rural areas of developing countries, solid fuels are still widely used for cooking, heating, and lighting purposes. This study investigates the effects of household air pollutants (HAPs) exposure on the occurrence of respiratory symptoms, blood pressure, and lung function. In this study, we randomly selected 123 (83 biomass and 40 clean fuel user) subjects to assess the impact of smoke generated from solid biomass fuel by assessing their health status along with the ventilation pattern of the kitchens and living rooms. HAPs (PM10, PM2.5, and CO) and different health parameters were measured along with monitoring of self-reported health symptoms for a consecutive period of eight months. Results revealed that the concentration of CO, PM2.5, and PM10 were found highest in biomass using households. Higher odds of the upper respiratory symptoms, runny nose (OR: 4.08, 95% CI: 1.22-22.14, p < 0.03), nasal congestion (OR: 9.07, 95% CI: 1.39-97.89, p < 0.01) and the odds of the lower respiratory symptoms like wheezing (OR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.23-10.94, p < 0.01), breathlessness (OR: 4.44, 95% CI: 1.3-14.75, p < 0.01), chest tightness (OR: 4.89, 95% CI: 1.23-22.14, p < 0.03) and dry cough (OR: 3.661, 95% CI: 1.05-12.25, p < 0.04) were significantly higher in biomass fuel user. Similarly higher systolic (+11.41 mmHg), higher diastolic pressure (+3.3 mmHg), higher pulse pressure (+8.11 mmHg), and a 6 mmHg higher mean arterial pressure among biomass fuel using tribal women. The risk of hypertension was significantly (p < 0.03) higher (OR: 3.04; 95% CI: 1.18-7.89) among solid biomass fuel users. The lung abnormality was recorded 28.91% (OR: 5.02, 95% CI: 1.50 to 16.56, p < 0.01) among biomass fuel user. Finally, it is suggested that the use of efficient cookstoves, increase in cross ventilation, and cleaner fuel are urgently needed to curb the pollution load.

Abstract
There is a growing evidence that the burning of unprocessed biomass fuels is associated with adverse health impacts. This study estimated the gaseous pollutants (CO, CO2, O3, SO2, and NO2) and particulate matters (PM2.5 and PM10) during the burning of biomass and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) fuels and their impacts on the health of tribal women. The results revealed that the tribal women mainly used six types of unprocessed biomass fuels (dry leaves, cow dung cake, dry woods, twigs, rice straw, and agricultural residues) along with five types of traditional earthen stoves. The concentration of gaseous and PM was recorded as in the order of CO2 > SO2 > CO > O3 and total suspended particulate matter (TSPM) > PM10 > PM2.5, respectively. The pollutant concentration inside the kitchen room for biomass users was significantly (p < 0.001) higher than LPG users. The biomass using tribal women might be suffering from higher cardiovascular risk than LPG users. The lung function study results also indicated that the mean values of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC were lower among biomass users than LPG users. The correlation study shows that tribal women who were exposed to biomass smoke were in a more vulnerable position than those who used LPG. Moreover, the toxicological risk among tribal biomass users was observed high (3.52) compared to LPG users (0.39). On the other hand, the Monte Carlo probabilistic simulation model for uncertainty analysis revealed that the mean value of Hazard Quotient (HQ) for PM2.5 in kitchen room was observed as 4.31E-00 and 9.40E-01 for biomass and LPG users, respectively. Modelling study also revealed that exposure of duration and cooking time are extremely important for toxicological risk assessment. However, further long-term comprehensive studies are extremely important.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) patients have more frequent respiratory symptoms and an increased risk of mortality. However, studies on comorbidities in these patients are lacking. OBJECTIVES We investigated the association between PRISm and comorbidities using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). METHOD This cross-sectional study included participants aged ≥50 years from the KNHANES (2007-2015). Participants who did not undergo spirometry or performed inadequately were excluded. We classified participants into 3 groups according to spirometry: PRISm (forced expiratory volume in one second [FEV1] /forced vital capacity [FVC] ≥ 0.7 and FEV1 <80%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (FEV1/ FVC <0.7), and normal. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the risk of comorbidities in the PRISm group compared to that in the normal group. RESULT The study included 17,515 participants: 12,777 (73.0%), 1,563 (8.9%), and 3,175 (18.1%) in normal, PRISm, and COPD groups, respectively. After adjustment for known risk factors of each disease, hypertension (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval]; 1.31 [1.14-1.50]), diabetes (1.51 [1.29-1.78]), hypercholesterolemia (1.20 [1.04-1.37]), obesity (1.31 [1.15-1.48]), ischemic heart disease (1.58 [1.13-2.22]), chronic renal disease (2.31 [1.09-4.88]), and thyroid disease (1.41 [1.09-1.83]) risks were significantly higher in the PRISm group than in the normal group. The average number of comorbidities was 2.45 in the PRISm group, which was higher than that in the normal (2.1) and COPD (2.03) groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The number of comorbidities was significantly higher in the PRISm group than in others. Hypertension, diabetes, obesity, ischemic heart disease, chronic renal disease, and thyroid disease were associated with PRISm after adjustment for risk factors.

Abstract
Exertional fatigue, defined as the overwhelming and debilitating sense of sustained exhaustion that impacts the ability to perform activities of daily living, is highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Subjective reports of exertional fatigue are paralleled by objective measurements of exercise intolerance throughout the spectrum of the disease. The prevalence of exercise intolerance is clinically noteworthy, as it leads to increased frailty, worsened quality of life, and an increased risk of mortality. The physiological underpinnings of exercise intolerance are multifaceted and still not fully understood. This review aims to provide a comprehensive outline of the potential physiological contributors, both central and peripheral, to kidney disease-related exercise intolerance and highlight current and prospective interventions to target this symptom. In this review, the CKD-related metabolic derangements, cardiac and pulmonary dysfunction, altered physiological responses to oxygen consumption, vascular derangements, and sarcopenia are discussed in the context of exercise intolerance. Lifestyle interventions to improve exertional fatigue, such as aerobic and resistance exercise training, are discussed, and the lack of dietary interventions to improve exercise tolerance is highlighted. Current and prospective pharmaceutical and nutraceutical strategies to improve exertional fatigue are also broached. An extensive understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of exercise intolerance will allow for the development of more targeted therapeutic approached to improve exertional fatigue and health-related quality of life in CKD and ESRD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression in adolescence is a social problem that has detrimental effects on an individual's physical and mental health and increases health care burden on families and society. This study investigates the connection between mental illness among parents and their adolescent children in Korea. METHODS The sample included parents of 5315 adolescents (12-24 years) and data were obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES) from 2007 to 2017. Family based comprehensive questionnaires were used. Multivariate logistic regression models were performed to estimate odds ratios (ORs) at 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). RESULTS The main findings showed that daughters with depressed mothers were 1.92 times more likely to experience depression and 1.64 times more likely to have suicidal ideations. In particular, when father was suicidal, his daughter had a 2.59 times higher risk of suicidal thoughts than father was not depressed and had no suicidal thoughts. Sons' depressive mood was rarely affected by the psychological status of mothers and fathers. LIMITATION There are under-report issue of feelings and study design is cross-sectional. CONCLUSIONS This study showed gender differences in the association between parents' and adolescents' experience of depression. Thus, the daughter's psychological state was found to be strongly associated with the psychological state of both parents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Albuminuria is the early manifestation of the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). The current study was to investigate the relationship of pulmonary function with albuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients with preserved renal function to evaluate the role of pulmonary function in the early stage of DN. METHODS A total of 326 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) including 270 without albuminuria and 56 with albuminuria, and 265 non-diabetic patients were enrolled. The patients' general information, and the parameters of pulmonary function, including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, total lung capacity (TLC), diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide of lung (DLCO) were compared between T2DM and control groups, as well as T2DM patients with and without albuminuria groups. All pulmonary function parameters were expressed as a percentage of those predicted (%pred). Logistic regression models were constructed to test the association of albuminuria and pulmonary function. RESULTS The values of FVC%pred, FEV1%pred, TLC%pred and DLCO%pred were lower, and the proportion of subjects with FVC%pred < 80, FEV1%pred < 80, and DLCOc%pred < 80 was higher in T2DM subjects than controls (all P < 0.05). Subgroup analysis of diabetic patients showed that the values of FVC%pred, FEV1%pred, TLC%pred, and DLCOc%pred (97.18 ± 13.45, 93.95 ± 14.51, 90.64 ± 9.97, 87.27 ± 13.13, respectively) were significantly lower in T2DM subjects with albuminuria than those without albuminuria (103.94 ± 14.12, 99.20 ± 14.25, 93.79 ± 10.36, 92.62 ± 13.45, all P < 0.05). There was a significantly negative correlation between the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and DLCOc%pred (r = - 0.143, P = 0.010) in spearman linear correlation test. In logistic regression analysis, the FVC%pred (OR 0.965, 95%CI 0.944-0.988), FEV1%pred (OR 0.975, 95%CI 0.954-0.996), and DLCOc%pred (OR 0.974, 95%CI 0.951-0.998) were independently associated with albuminuria after adjustments for smoking index, duration, HbA1c, FBG, and TG. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated albuminuria is associated with a restrictive pulmonary function as well as pulmonary diffusion function in T2DM with preserved renal function, which remind us to be alert of the pulmonary function decline even in the early stage of DN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the prevalence of kidney disease is higher in those with reduced lung function, the longitudinal relationship between low lung function and future risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been widely explored. METHODS Baseline lung function was assessed in 20,700 men and 7325 women from 1974 to 1992. Mean age was 43.4 (±6.6) and 47.5 (±7.9) for men and women respectively. Sex-specific quartiles of FEV1 and FVC (L) were created (Q4: highest, reference) and the cohort was also divided by the FEV1/FVC ratio (≥ or < 0.70). Cox proportional hazards regression was used to determine the risk of incident CKD events (inpatient or outpatient hospital diagnosis of CKD) in relation to baseline lung function after adjustment for various confounding factors. RESULTS Over 41 years of follow-up there were 710 and 165 incident CKD events (main diagnosis) in men and women respectively. Low FEV1 was strongly associated with future risk of CKD in men (Q1 vs Q4 adjusted HR: 1.46 (CI:1.14-1.89), p-trend 0.002). Similar findings were observed for FVC in men (1.51 (CI:1.16-1.95), p-trend 0.001). The adjusted risks were not found to be significant in women, for either FEV1 or FVC. FEV1/FVC < 0.70 was not associated with increased incidence of CKD in men or women. CONCLUSION Low FEV1 and FVC levels at baseline are a risk factor for the development of future incident CKD in men. Monitoring kidney function in those with reduced vital capacity in early life could help with identifying those at increased risk of future CKD.

Abstract
Background To investigate the relationship between pulmonary function and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 11,388 people with complete pulmonary function test and baPWV data and who participated in both the health examination of the Kailuan Occupational Disease Prevention and Treatment Center in 2014-2016 and the health checkup of the Kailuan Group in 2012 and 2014 were selected as subjects. The study population was divided into four groups by forced vital capacity (FVC) quartiles (group 1: FVC <3.50 L; group 2: 3.50 L ≤ FVC <3.96 L; group 3: 3.96 L ≤ FVC <4.47 L; group 4: FVC ≥4.47 L) and divided into four groups by forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) quartile (group 1: FEV1 <3.15 L; group 2: 3.15 L ≤ FVC <3.61 L; group 3: 3.61 L ≤ FVC <4.08 L; group 4: FVC ≥4.08 L). Linear regression analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the effects of pulmonary function on baPWV. Results When grouped by FVC, the baPWV of the first group was significantly higher than the other groups. Similarly, the incidence of arteriosclerosis in the first group was significantly higher than the other groups. When grouped by FEV1, the baPWV of the first group was significantly higher than the other groups. The incidence of arteriosclerosis was also significantly higher in the first group than the other groups. After correcting for other confounding factors using linear regression, it was found that the effects of FVC and FEV1 on the study subject's baPWV were -23.84 and -24.65 L, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that when grouped by FVC quartile, the risk of arteriosclerosis was increased by 34% in group 1 compared with group 4 (OR: 1.34, 95% CI: 1.17-1.52); the risk of arteriosclerosis was increased by 16% in group 2 compared with group 4 (OR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.03-1.31). When grouped by the FEV1 quartile, the risk of arteriosclerosis was increased by 25% in group 1 compared with group 4 (OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.10-1.42). Conclusions Decreased pulmonary function is negatively correlated with baPWV and is an independent risk factor for arteriosclerosis.

Glomerular hyperfiltration may be a novel risk factor of restrictive spirometry pattern: Analysis of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2009-2015. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0223050.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There have been limited studies regarding the association between glomerular hyperfiltration (GHF) and restrictive spirometry pattern (RSP) in Korean adults. METHODS We used data of 23,189 adults from the Korea National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 2009-2015 with a complete data set including spirometry, serum creatinine, and anthropometric measurements. Spirometry data included the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC). We defined GHF as the >90th percentile of age & sex adjusted estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and RSP was defined as an FVC <80%-predicted value and an FEV1/FVC ratio ≥0.7. RESULTS Participants with RSP showed higher blood pressure, fasting glucose, and triglyceride, reduced high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and central obesity, which resulted in a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) compared to those without RSP. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that the odds for RSP were significantly increased with an increased number of MetS components. In addition, increased eGFR was associated with decreased FVC, showing an inverted J-shaped relationship in a multivariate generalized additive model analysis. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval of GHF for RSP was 1.184 (1.026-1.368, P = 0.021), which was evident in groups without metabolic disorders. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that GHF was associated with increased odds for RSP, particularly in groups without metabolic disorders. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm our study results.

Abstract
RATIONALE Chronic lower respiratory diseases (CLRDs), including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, are the fourth leading cause of death. Prior studies suggest that albuminuria, a biomarker of endothelial injury, is increased in patients with COPD. OBJECTIVES To test whether albuminuria was associated with lung function decline and incident CLRDs. METHODS Six U.S. population-based cohorts were harmonized and pooled. Participants with prevalent clinical lung disease were excluded. Albuminuria (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio) was measured in spot samples. Lung function was assessed by spirometry. Incident CLRD-related hospitalizations and deaths were classified via adjudication and/or administrative criteria. Mixed and proportional hazards models were used to test individual-level associations adjusted for age, height, weight, sex, race/ethnicity, education, birth year, cohort, smoking status, pack-years of smoking, renal function, hypertension, diabetes, and medications. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Among 10,961 participants with preserved lung function, mean age at albuminuria measurement was 60 years, 51% were never-smokers, median albuminuria was 5.6 mg/g, and mean FEV1 decline was 31.5 ml/yr. For each SD increase in log-transformed albuminuria, there was 2.81% greater FEV1 decline (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.86-4.76%; P = 0.0047), 11.02% greater FEV1/FVC decline (95% CI, 4.43-17.62%; P = 0.0011), and 15% increased hazard of incident spirometry-defined moderate-to-severe COPD (95% CI, 2-31%, P = 0.0021). Each SD log-transformed albuminuria increased hazards of incident COPD-related hospitalization/mortality by 26% (95% CI, 18-34%, P < 0.0001) among 14,213 participants followed for events. Asthma events were not significantly associated. Associations persisted in participants without current smoking, diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSIONS Albuminuria was associated with greater lung function decline, incident spirometry-defined COPD, and incident COPD-related events in a U.S. population-based sample.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD), protein-energy wasting (PEW), and inflammation are common interrelated features of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Less is known about lung dysfunction in CKD and its possible role in this context. We evaluated lung function and its association with estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), CVD, PEW, and inflammation in individuals with normal to severely reduced GFR. METHODS In 404 individuals with GFR category G1 (n = 31; GFR >90mL/min/1.73 m2), G2 (n = 46), G3 (n = 33), G4 (n = 49) and G5 (n = 245; GFR<15mL/min/1.73 m2), pulmonary function was assessed by spirometry. Obstructive (OLD) and restrictive (RLD) lung dysfunction was defined based on forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF), expressed as percentages of predicted values (%FEV1, %FVC and %PEF, respectively). PEW was evaluated by subjective global assessment, handgrip strength (HGS) and lean body mass index (LBMI), and inflammation by interleukin-6 and high sensitivity C-reactive protein. RESULTS RLD (defined as FEV1/FVC ≥ 0.70 and %FVC<80) associated with GFR and was present in 36% of G5 and 14% of G1-4 individuals. OLD (FEV1/FVC<0.70) was less common with similar prevalence among G1-4 (9%) and G5 (11%) individuals. Notably, 64% of those with concomitant presence of PEW, inflammation and clinical signs of CVD had RLD while 79% of those lacking these complications had normal lung function. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, RLD associated with CVD, PEW and inflammation, after adjusting for Framingham's CVD risk score, serum albumin, and GFR category. CONCLUSIONS RLD is a common complication in patients with advanced CKD, especially in those with concomitant presence of CVD, inflammation and PEW. RLD appears to be an integral albeit scarcely explored consequence of pulmonary-renal interactions in CKD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduced lung function is associated with clinical outcomes such as cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about its association with incident end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 14,946 participants aged 45 to 64 years at baseline (1987-1989) in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study (45.0% men and 25.2% black), with follow-up through 2012. PREDICTORS Race- and sex-specific quartiles of percent-predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) and the proportion of forced expiratory volume in 1 second of expiration to FVC (FEV1/FVC) at baseline determined with spirometry. OUTCOMES Incident ESRD (defined here as renal replacement therapy or death due to CKD) as the primary outcome and incident CKD (defined here as ESRD, ≥25% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate to a level <60mL/min/1.73m2, or CKD-related hospitalizations/deaths) as the secondary outcome. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 23.6 years, 526 (3.5%) participants developed ESRD. After adjusting for potential confounders, the cause-specific HR of incident ESRD for the lowest (vs highest) quartile was 1.72 (95% CI, 1.31-2.26) for percent-predicted FVC and 1.33 (95% CI, 1.03-1.73) for FEV1/FVC. Compared to a high-normal lung function pattern, a mixed pattern (ie, percent-predicted FVC<80% and FEV1/FVC<70%; 3.4% of participants) demonstrated the highest adjusted cause-specific HR of ESRD at 2.28 (95% CI, 1.50-3.45), followed by the restrictive pattern (ie, percent-predicted FVC<80% and FEV1/FVC≥70%; 4.8% of participants) at 2.03 (95% CI, 1.47-2.81), obstructive pattern (ie, percent-predicted FVC≥80% and FEV1/FVC<70%; 18.9% of participants) at 1.47 (95% CI, 1.09-1.99), and low-normal pattern (ie, percent-predicted FVC 80%-<100% and FEV1/FVC≥70%, or percent-predicted FVC≥80% and FEV1/FVC 70%-<75%; 44.3% of participants) at 1.21 (95% CI, 0.94-1.55). Similar associations were seen with incident CKD. LIMITATIONS Limited number of participants with moderate/severe lung dysfunction and spirometry only at baseline. CONCLUSIONS Reduced lung function, particularly lower percent-predicted FVC, is independently associated with CKD progression. Our findings suggest a potential pathophysiologic contribution of reduced lung function to the development of CKD and a need for monitoring kidney function in persons with reduced lung function.

Abstract
Introduction Chronic lung disease, often characterised by rapid decline in lung function, is associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction (characterised by moderate to severe excess urinary albumin excretion (eUAE) but their longitudinal relationship is inadequately studied. In a bidirectional longitudinal examination of healthy adults, we analysed the following two hypotheses: (1) rapid decline (ie, highest tertile of lung function decline) predicts eUAE and (2) eUAE predicts rapid decline. Methods We performed a secondary data analysis from 3052 eligible participants from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study. For analysis 1, the predictor was rapid decline in lung function between the peak value (attained at or before CARDIA visit year 10 or Y10 at a mean age of 35 years) and Y20; and the outcome was incident eUAE at Y20 and/or Y25. For analysis 2, the predictor was eUAE at Y10 and the outcome was rapid decline between Y10 and Y20. Results After adjustment for covariates in analysis 1, rapid decline in FEV1 or FVC between peak and Y20 predicted incident eUAE at Y20 and/or Y25 (OR 1.51 and 1.44, respectively; p≤0.05 for both analyses). In analysis 2, eUAE at Y10 did not predict subsequent rapid decline. Conclusions Healthy adults with rapid decline in lung function are at risk for developing vascular endothelial dysfunction, as assessed by incident eUAE, later in life.

Indoor air pollution and its association with poor lung function, microalbuminuria and variations in blood pressure among kitchen workers in India: a cross-sectional study. Environ Health 2017; 16:33. [PMID: 28376835 PMCID: PMC5379539 DOI: 10.1186/s12940-017-0243-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2016] [Accepted: 03/23/2017] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study is an attempt to explore the association between kitchen indoor air pollutants and physiological profiles in kitchen workers with microalbuminuria (MAU) in north India (Lucknow) and south India (Coimbatore). METHODS The subjects comprised 145 control subjects, 233 kitchen workers from north India and 186 kitchen workers from south India. Information related to the personal and occupational history and health of the subjects at both locations were collected using a custom-made questionnaire. Worker lung function was measured using a spirometer. Blood pressure was monitored using a sphygmomanometer. Urinary MAU was measured using a urine analyzer. Indoor air monitoring in kitchens for particulate matter (PM), total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) was conducted using indoor air quality monitors. The size and shape of PM in indoor air was assessed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to detect organic or inorganic compounds in the air samples. RESULTS Particulate matter concentrations (PM2.5 and PM1) were significantly higher in both north and south Indian kitchens than in non-kitchen areas. The concentrations of TVOC, CO and CO2 were higher in the kitchens of north and south India than in the control locations (non-kitchen areas). Coarse, fine and ultrafine particles and several elements were also detected in kitchens in both locations by SEM and elemental analysis. The FTIR spectra of kitchen indoor air at both locations show the presence of organic chemicals. Significant declines in systolic blood pressure and lung function were observed in the kitchen workers with MAU at both locations compared to those of the control subjects. A higher prevalence of obstruction cases with MAU was observed among the workers in the southern region than in the controls (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Kitchen workers in south India have lower lung capacities and a greater risk of obstructive and restrictive abnormalities than their north Indian counterparts. The study showed that occupational exposure to multiple kitchen indoor air pollutants (ultrafine particles, PM2.5, PM1, TVOC, CO, CO2) and FTIR-derived compounds can be associated with a decline in lung function (restrictive and obstructive patterns) in kitchen workers with microalbuminuria. Further studies in different geographical locations in India among kitchen workers on a wider scale are required to validate the present findings.

Lee K. Lung function and impaired kidney function in relation to metabolic syndrome. Int Urol Nephrol 2017; 49:1217-1223. [PMID: 28299524 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-017-1567-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2016] [Accepted: 03/08/2017] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to assess the relationships between abnormal lung function and indicators of chronic kidney disease in relation to metabolic syndrome (MetS) by using data from the 2011-2013 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. METHODS Using the data of 8551 Korean adults (3798 men, 4753 women, ≥40 years), lung function categories [obstructive lung disease (OLD), restrictive lung disease (RLD), and non-obstructive/non-restrictive lung disease (reference group)] were defined for each gender. Albuminuria and low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were defined as urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g and eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Gender-specific logistic regression analysis was performed after adjusting for age, educational level, smoking, alcohol use, physical activity, and medication use for chronic diseases. RESULTS Compared to the reference group, low eGFR was associated with higher odds for RLD in men and RLD or OLD in women when they did not have MetS. In those with MetS, low eGFR was associated with higher odds for OLD in men and RLD or OLD in women. Albuminuria was associated with higher odds for RLD in men who did not have MetS, while it was associated with higher odds for RLD or OLD in men and women who had MetS. CONCLUSIONS Abnormal lung function was associated with increased odds for chronic kidney disease indicators, when combined with MetS in both gender. Even in those without MetS, RLD in men was associated with increased odds for low eGFR or albuminuria, while RLD or OLD in women was associated with increased odds for low eGFR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The pulmonary abnormalities (principally restrictive abnormalities) are characteristic of renal transplant recipients or those with end-stage renal disease. Our aim was to explore whether the prevalence of spirometric abnormalities was influenced by the estimated glomerular filtration rates (GFRs) in a Korean general population. METHODS We used data obtained during the 2010 to 2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a national cross-sectional survey. We analyzed data from subjects for whom spirometric assays and estimated GFRs were of acceptable quality. RESULTS A total of 8,809 subjects (3,868 male and 4,941 female) was included. In both males and females with GFR values < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, the linear trends toward the presence of obstructive and restrictive patterns were significant. However, the percent predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) decreased with a decline in the estimated GFR, but only in males (p for trend < 0.0031). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed a decline in the estimated GFR was independently associated with falls in the percent predicted FVC and the forced expiratory volume in 1 second/FVC ratio in both males and females. However, the percent predicted FVC was independently predictive only in males (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Impaired pulmonary function was associated with a decline in the estimated GFR. The percent predicted FVC decrease paralleled the decline in estimated GFR in male only. Careful interpretation of pulmonary function test data is required in patients with decreased GFRs or impaired renal function, especially males.

Abstract
This systematic review synthesizes the diverse body of epidemiologic research accrued on inorganic arsenic exposure and respiratory health effects. Twenty-nine articles were identified that examined the relationship between inorganic arsenic exposure and respiratory outcomes (i.e. lung function, symptoms, acute respiratory infections, chronic non-malignant lung diseases, and non-malignant lung disease mortality). There was strong evidence of a general association between arsenic and non-malignant respiratory illness, including consistent evidence on lung function impairment, acute respiratory tract infections, respiratory symptoms, and non-malignant lung disease mortality. Overall, early life exposure (i.e. in utero and/or early-childhood) had a marked effect throughout the lifespan. This review also identified some research gaps, including limited evidence at lower levels of exposure (water arsenic <100μg/L), mixed evidence of sex differences, and some uncertainty on arsenic and any single non-malignant respiratory disease or pathological process. Common limitations, including potential publication bias; non-comparability of outcome measures across included articles; incomplete exposure histories; and limited confounder control attenuated the cumulative strength of the evidence as it relates to US populations. This systematic review provides a comprehensive assessment of the epidemiologic evidence and should be used to guide future research on arsenic's detrimental effects on respiratory health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevalence and factors associated with obstructive and restrictive lung function in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are unknown. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS Participants aged 40 to 79 years from NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) 2007 to 2012 who underwent spirometry testing. PREDICTOR CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] >15-<60mL/min/1.73m(2) or urinary albumin-creatinine ratio ≥ 30mg/g). OUTCOMES Restrictive lung function (defined as FEV1/FVC≥0.70 and baseline FVC<80% predicted), obstructive lung function (defined as FEV1/FVC<0.70 based on postbronchodilator spirometric results), and mortality data (available for 2007-2008 and 2009-2010 survey periods). RESULTS 7,610 participants (CKD=1,338; non-CKD=6,272) were included. Prevalences of obstructive lung function adjusted to the mean age of 55 years and 50% men in the CKD and non-CKD groups were 15.6% and 13.3%, respectively (P=0.2). Similarly, adjusted prevalences of restrictive lung function in the CKD and non-CKD groups were 9.8% and 6.7%, respectively (P=0.01). Presence of albumin-creatinine ratio ≥ 30mg/g was associated with obstructive (OR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.07-1.88) and restrictive lung function (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.01-2.03) in the entire study cohort. eGFR<60mL/min/1.73m(2) was associated with higher odds of obstructive lung function. In a multivariable Cox model, age (HR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.04-1.11) and presence of obstructive lung function (HR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.80-3.97), but not CKD measures, were associated with death. LIMITATIONS Small proportion of participants with advanced kidney disease. CONCLUSIONS In a representative sample of US adults, impaired lung function is common in those with and without CKD. Albuminuria was independently associated with both obstructive and restrictive lung function, and eGFR<60mL/min/1.73m(2) was associated with higher odds of obstructive lung function. Older age and obstructive lung function were associated with higher likelihood of death. Further studies examining the burden of lung disease in advanced CKD are needed.

Abstract
Background Long working hours are a worldwide problem and may increase the risk of various health issues. However, the health effects of long working hours on suicidal thoughts have not been frequently studied. Our goal was to investigate the relationship between long working hours and suicidal thoughts in the rapidly developing country of Korea. Methods Data from 12,076 participants (7,164 men, 4,912 women) from the 4th and 5th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys were used for the current analysis. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for suicidal thoughts. Combined effects of long working hours and lower socioeconomic status or sleep disturbance were also estimated. Results Compared to groups who worked less than 52 hours per week, odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for suicidal thoughts in groups who worked 60 hours or more per week were 1.36 (1.09–1.70) for males and 1.38 (1.11–1.72) for females, even after controlling for household income, marital status, history of hypertension or diabetes mellitus, health-related behaviors, and past two weeks’ experience of injury, intoxication, or acute or chronic diseases, as well as type of work. The combined effects of long working hours with lower socioeconomic status, or with sleep disturbance, were also significantly higher compared to participants who worked less than 52 hours per week with higher socioeconomic status, or with 6–8 hours of nighttime sleep. Conclusion In this study, long working hours were linked to suicidal thoughts for both genders. Additionally, the odds of those suicidal thoughts were higher for lower socioeconomic groups. To prevent adverse psychological health problems such as suicidal thoughts, a strategy regarding long working hours should be investigated.

Abstract
According to the disease module hypothesis, the cellular components associated with a disease segregate in the same neighborhood of the human interactome, the map of biologically relevant molecular interactions. Yet, given the incompleteness of the interactome and the limited knowledge of disease-associated genes, it is not obvious if the available data have sufficient coverage to map out modules associated with each disease. Here we derive mathematical conditions for the identifiability of disease modules and show that the network-based location of each disease module determines its pathobiological relationship to other diseases. For example, diseases with overlapping network modules show significant coexpression patterns, symptom similarity, and comorbidity, whereas diseases residing in separated network neighborhoods are phenotypically distinct. These tools represent an interactome-based platform to predict molecular commonalities between phenotypically related diseases, even if they do not share primary disease genes.

Abstract
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is an important diagnostic indicator of diabetes mellitus, and some authors have argued that it is related to impaired lung function in the diabetic population. However, there was rare study for association between lung function and HbA1c in the non-diabetic population. We investigated whether HbA1c below the diagnostic threshold is related to deficits in lung function. We analyzed biochemical and spirometry data from a nation-wide, population-based, case-control study (the KNHANES IV and V). Eligible as cases were all native Koreans aged 40 years or more with no medical illness. A total of 3670 participants were divided into 4 groups according to HbA1c (%) as follows: Group I (n = 842), ≥ 4.0 and ≤ 5.3; Group II (n = 833), > 5.3 and ≤ 5.5; Group III (n = 898), > 5.5 and ≤ 5.7; and Group IV (n = 1097), > 5.7 and ≤ 6.4. Group I had the greatest forced vital capacity (FVC, 96.3 ± 0.5% pred, P < 0.0001), forced expiratory volume per second (FEV1, 93.8 ± 0.5% pred, P < 0.0001) and FEV1/FVC (0.792 ± 0.003, P < 0.0001) compared with the other groups. Linear regression showed that HbA1c was closely related to FVC (β = -6.972154, P < 0.0001) and FEV1 (β = -5.591589, P < 0.0001), but not to FEV1/FVC. Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between HbA1c and a restrictive spirometric pattern (FVC < 80% pred., FEV1/FVC ≥ 0.70; OR = 3.772, 95% CI = 1.234-11.53), indicating that elevated HbA1c is closely associated with lung impairment in the non-diabetic population. In the healthy population, relatively high HbA1c level is associated with decrements of FVC and FEV1 and may be a reliable predictor of poor lung function, especially the restrictive pattern.
