Change in prevalence of restrictive lung impairment in the U.S. population and associated risk factors: the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1988–1994 and 2007–2010

Abstract


 
 
 
 Background: Data for the U.S adult population from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were used to evaluate risk factors for a restrictive pattern on spirometry and estimate the change in its prevalence from the 1988–1994 to 2007–2010 sampling periods. Several previous epidemiologic studies used the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease fixed forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) > 0.70 criteria for classifying restrictive pattern rather than the age-defined American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS) lower limit of normal (LLN) criteria, which may lead to misclassification.
 Methods: Spirometry measurements from NHANES data for the 1988–1994 and 2007–2010 periods were analyzed to estimate the age-standardized prevalence of a restrictive pattern on spirometry and the change in prevalence over time for adults aged 20–79. A restrictive pattern was defined based on ATS/ERS LLN criteria as FEV1/FVC > LLN and FVC < LLN, and a moderate to more severe restrictive pattern was further evaluated using FEV1 < 70% predicted. The associations between demographic and other individual risk factors for restrictive lung impairment were examined using multivariable logistic regression models for the two consecutive time periods.
 Results: The overall age-standardized prevalence of restrictive pattern decreased significantly from 7.2% (1988–1994) to 5.4% (2007–2010) (p = 0.0013). The prevalence of moderate to more severe restrictive pattern also decreased significantly from 2.0% to 1.4% (p = 0.023). Factors positively associated with restrictive pattern on spirometry included age, female sex, white race, lower education, former and current smoking, and comorbidities including doctor-diagnosed cardiovascular disease, doctor-diagnosed diabetes, and abdominal obesity.
 Conclusions: The overall prevalence of restrictive pattern and moderate to more severe restrictive pattern decreased between the 1988–1994 and 2007–2010 survey periods despite a population increase in the proportion of comorbidities associated with restrictive pattern (i.e. diabetes and abdominal obesity). This suggests a decline in individual risk factors for restrictive pattern and a need for future research.
 
 
 

Factors associated with abnormal pulmonary function test among subjects with normal chest radiography: The Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

“…In this general population‐based study, we estimated factors predicting abnormal PFT among subjects with normal chest radiography. Subjects aged ≥50 years were significantly more likely to have abnormal lung function compared with those 40–49 years of age, which is consistent with other studies from the US NHANES or KNHANES . This could be due to a reduction in chest wall compliance and increased air trapping with aging .…”

Longitudinal Phenotypes and Mortality in Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry in the COPDGene Study

“…pattern include female sex, ever smoking cigarettes, diabetes mellitus, advanced age, extremes of body mass (both high and low), and increased central adiposity (7,(15)(16)(17). Globally, a history of tuberculosis (18)(19)(20) and exposure to biomass combustion products (21) have been identified as additional risk factors for PRISm.…”

Studi Faal Paru Dan Faktor Determinannya Pada Pekerja Di Industri Sawmill

“…Terjadinya gangguan restriksi akibat penurunan volume paru yang abnormal dapat disebabkan oleh perubahan pada parenkim paru, pleura, dinding paru atau melemahnya otot (Altalag, dkk., 2009). Gangguan restriksi tersebut berhubungan dengan menurunnya kekuatan fisik pada orang yang lebih tua serta dapat terjadi pada orang memiliki status indeks massa tubuh tinggi akibat meluasnya jaringan ekstra adiposa (Kurth, 2015). Semakin tua umur seseorang semakin terjadi perubahan pada jalan napas dan parenkim paru (Rosenthal, dkk., 2012).…”
