Abstract
Objective This study aims to evaluate the association between socioeconomic conditions and the lung function of children below 18 years old. Design Systematic review. Methods PRISMA guidelines were followed to browse relevant studies from 2013 to 2023. Data from the included studies were extracted after the Newcastle-Ottawa risk of bias tool was applied. Main Outcome Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) liters. Results 20 papers with 89,619 participants were included. Logistic regression model for FEV1 based on multiple SES indices, suggested a positive association between lower respiratory function and a lower SES, with an interquartile odds ratio (OR) of 1.67 (95% CI 1.03-1.34). Conclusion Children from a lower socioeconomic status (SES) do exhibit lower lung function and addressing the causes of this can contribute to developing preventive public health strategies. Limitations Lack of appropriate reference values and varied indicators of socioeconomic status in the studies contributed to significant statistical differences. Prospero Registration Number CRD 42020197658.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Insulin resistance may be associated with impaired lung function. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between insulin resistance and lung function in asthmatic children. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study on asthmatic children aged 6-18 years at Tertiary Care Center, India. Fasting serum glucose and insulin levels were analyzed to calculate the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in 90 children. Lung function tests were performed. Spearman correlation was used to assess the relationship between insulin resistance and lung function. Linear regression was done to adjust the potential confounders. RESULTS Insulin resistance was present in 15.5% of patients. We found a statistically significant inverse relationship between HOMA-IR and spirometric parameters such as forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity ratio and forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75% on Spearman correlation. However, adjusted regression for age, gender, and body mass index showed no significant association of lung function parameters with HOMA-IR. CONCLUSIONS Insulin resistance may be considered for the decline in lung function in asthmatic children.

Chaya S, Zar HJ, Gray DM. Lung Function in Preschool Children in Low and Middle Income Countries: An Under-Represented Potential Tool to Strengthen Child Health. Front Pediatr 2022; 10:908607. [PMID: 35769219 PMCID: PMC9234953 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.908607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The burden of respiratory disease is high in low-middle income countries (LMIC). Pulmonary function tests are useful as an objective measure of lung health and to track progression. Spirometry is the commonest test, but its use is limited in preschool children. Other lung function methods have been developed but their use in LMIC has not been well described. AIM To review the use of preschool lung function testing in children in LMIC, with particular reference to feasibility and clinical applications. METHODS Electronic databases "PubMed", "Scopus"," Web of Science", and "EBSCO host" were searched for publications in low and middle income countries on preschool lung function testing, including spirometry, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), oscillometry, interrupter technique, tidal breathing and multiple breath washout (MBW), from 1 January 2011 to 31 January 2022. Papers in English were included and those including only children ≥6 years were excluded. RESULT A total of 61 papers from LMIC in Asia, South America, Africa, Eurasia or the Middle East were included. Of these, 40 included spirometry, 7 FeNO, 15 oscillometry, 2 interrupter technique, and 2 tidal breathing. The papers covered test feasibility (19/61), clinical application (46/61) or epidemiological studies (13/61). Lung function testing was successful in preschool children from LMIC. Spirometry was the most technically demanding and success gradually increased with age. CONCLUSION Preschool lung function testing is under-represented in LMIC for the burden of respiratory disease. These tests have the potential to strengthen respiratory care in LMIC, however access needs to be improved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To find out the association of weight, height and age with spirometry variables and to generate a regression equation by taking weight as an independent variable beside age and height among children and adolescents of Karachi. METHODS A modified form of ISSAC questionnaire was used. The spirometry variables recorded were Forced vital capacity (FVC), Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, Peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), Forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% expired volume (FEF25-75). A person's correlation coefficient among boys and girls were calculated for all spirometry variable considering age, height and weight as independent variables. The linear regression models were calculated. RESULTS The results reported a linear correlation of lung function variables with all three independent variables (i.e. p-value = 0.000), in which age and height manifested a strong positive correlation while weight reported a moderately significant correlation. All spirometry variables such as FVC, FEV1, PEF and FEF25-75 reported a significant coefficient of dependency and coefficient of correlation individually with age, height and weight. CONCLUSION It is concluded that beside age, height and weight both also have significant correlation with lung volumes so these should be taken into account when using spirometry as a diagnostic test.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Disadvantaged socioeconomic circumstances in early life have the potential to impact lung function. Thus, this study aimed to summarise evidence on the association between socioeconomic circumstances and respiratory function from childhood to young adulthood. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis guidelines, Medline, ISI-Web of Science and Scopus were searched from inception up to January 2018. Original studies on the association between socioeconomic circumstances and respiratory function in early ages (ie, participants younger than 25 years of age) were investigated. Two investigators independently evaluated articles, applied the exclusion criteria, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. A meta-analysis of the standardised mean difference and 95% CI in respiratory function between participants from different socioeconomic circumstances was conducted, using a random-effects model. RESULTS Thirty-three papers were included in this review and 23 showed that disadvantaged socioeconomic circumstances were significantly associated with reduced respiratory function. The meta-analysis including seven papers showed a significant difference of -0.31 (95% CI -0.42 to -0.21) litres in forced expiratory volume in the first second between children, adolescents and young adults from disadvantaged versus advantaged socioeconomic circumstances. Specifically a difference of -0.31 (95% CI -0.51 to -0.10) litres in girls and -0.43 (95% CI -0.51 to -0.35) litres in boys was observed. CONCLUSIONS Children, adolescents and young adults from disadvantaged socioeconomic circumstances had lower respiratory function, and boys presented higher respiratory health inequalities. This information contributes to explain the social patterning of respiratory diseases, and might enable health policy makers to tackle respiratory health inequalities at early ages.

Abstract
Introduction: Spirometry, the most common lung function test, is used to evaluate individuals with respiratory complaints or known respiratory disease. However, its underutilization and the misinterpretation of its parameters are causes for concern. Areas covered: This review describes new spirometry-derived metrics, new reference equations, recent recommendations for presentation of results, recent spirometry-based prevalence studies, and technological advances in spirometry equipment. Expert opinion: The underutilization of spirometry can be overcome by increasing access to portable, hand-held, and user-friendly spirometers, together with strategies that increase awareness of the importance of spirometry. New metrics derived from spirometry, together with traditional spirometric criteria, can identify individuals with structural lung disease and respiratory morbidity. Some problems with the reference equations were solved by the Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI), which covers a wider age range and more ethnic groups and provides limits of normality using the z-score. Despite these advantages, the GLI equations lack data from large populations (especially those from Africa, South Asia, and Latin America) and greater representation of older people. Another disadvantage attributed to the GLI is the lack of predicted values for peak expiratory flow and other airflows, limiting the interpretation of the maximal expiratory flow-volume curve.

Abstract
Background: Vascular and lung function develop and decline over the life course; both predict cardiovascular events and mortality but little is known of how they develop over time. We analysed their relationship in a multiethnic cohort study to test whether lung function from early adolescence to young adulthood affected vascular indices. Methods: ‘DASH’ (http://dash.sphsu.mrc.ac.uk) included 6643 children aged 11–13 years in 2003; a representative 10% sample (n = 665) participated in a pilot follow-up in 2013. Psychosocial, anthropometric, blood pressure (BP), and lung function measures were collected in both surveys; aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx) were measured at aged 21–23 years. Relationships between forced expiratory volume Z-scores in 1 s (zFEV1), after global initiative-ethnic adjustments and BP, PWV, and AIx were tested in linear regression and general estimating statistical models. Results: In total, 488 people with complete data were included. At 11–13 years, SBP was positively associated with zFEV1 (coefficient = 1.90, 95% confidence interval 1.11–2.68, P < 0.001); but not at 21–23 years. The 10-year increase in zFEV1 was associated with rise in SBP (1.38, 0.25–1.51, P < 0.05) in mixed effect models adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, waist to height ratio, employment, reported racism, smoking, and alcohol use but DBP change was unrelated. In fully adjusted models, neither PWV nor central AIx were associated with zFEV1 at 11–13 years or 21–23 years (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Forced expiratory volume change is positively and independently associated with SBP change from adolescence to young adulthood, suggesting earlier lung function plays important roles in SBP development. Vascular indices were unrelated to lung function or its change.

Abstract
Lung function tests are essential for the diagnosis and management of different respiratory tract diseases; among them the spirometry is the gold standard technique. The accurate diagnosis, management and monitoring require proper interpretation of the results which depends upon the availability of spirometry reference data for that particular region to differentiate the diseased condition from the normal ones. Multiple studies had been done to find out their own area specific reference ranges but it is still lacking. This need was fulfilled by the Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) in 2012, which reported the first global spirometry equation for all of the age groups. But some of the studies reported difference among GLI reference range and the measured range for that particular region. So here is the review of the reference ranges among 35,603 Asian children and adolescents from the 32 studies done specifically in Asia. The aim was to compare them with the study done by GLI team, along with these, tried to rule out the causal factor that are responsible for the variations in the reference ranges among the children and adolescents of different population. The literature was searched by using Google scholar and PubMed during the month of March up to July 2017. The review of all the articles published in Asia, specifically accounting for normal reference ranges in children and adolescent exhibit a wide variation among the reference ranges. This also suggest involvement of multiple modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. So it's necessary to update the reference ranges for spirometry and its prediction equation as well.
