“…The smoking status was classified as non-smoker, ex-smoker, and current smoker. Regular exercise was defined as moderate physical activity for more than 30 min on more than 5 days of the past week [ 34 ]. Comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, strokes, cardiovascular disease, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and tuberculosis) were collected using ICD-10 codes in the medical records of the participants [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ].…”

The household income was categorised into quartiles based on the insurance premium levels (in Korea, insurance premiums are determined by the income level) with those covered by medical aid (poorest 3%) being merged into the lowest income quartile [ 28 , 34 ].…”

Although the oestrogen level is thought to be involved in the occurrence of bronchiectasis, limited data are available on the relationship between female reproductive factors and the risk of bronchiectasis. We performed a population-based retrospective cohort study of 959,523 premenopausal women and 1,362,401 postmenopausal women without a previous history of bronchiectasis who participated in a health screening exam in 2009 in South Korea. In premenopausal women, compared with a later age at menarche (≥16 years), an earlier menarche (<12 years) was associated with a reduced risk of bronchiectasis with an adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) (95% confidence interval (CI)) of 0.74 (0.67–0.81). However, there were no significant associations between other reproductive factors (breastfeeding, parity, or oral contraceptive use) and the risk of bronchiectasis. In postmenopausal women, the risk of bronchiectasis (aHR (95% CI)) was lower in those with an earlier menarche (0.79 (0.72–0.87) for <12 years vs. ≥16 years), a later menopause (0.90 (0.84–0.96) ≥55 years vs. <40 years), and a longer reproductive period (0.90 (0.86–0.94) for ≥40 years vs. <30 years). There was no significant relationship between parity and the risk of bronchiectasis. Although breastfeeding <1 year (aHR (95% CI) = 0.92 (0.87–0.97) for <0.5 years and 0.93 (0.88–0.97) for 0.5–1 years) and oral contraceptive use <1 year (0.97 (0.94–0.99)) reduced the risk of bronchiectasis, hormone replacement therapy ≥5 years increased the risk of bronchiectasis (1.24 (1.18–1.30)). Female reproductive factors are risk factors for developing bronchiectasis, showing a higher risk associated with shorter endogenous oestrogen exposure regardless of the menopausal status.

“…Data on alcohol consumption and regular physical activity were collected from self-administered questionnaires. Categories for alcohol consumption were none (0 g/day), mild (<30 g/day), and heavy (≥30 g/day) [ 19 , 23 , 24 ]. Categories for exercise were regular (>30 min of moderate physical at least 5 times per week or >20 min of strenuous physical activity at least 3 times per week) and non-regular [ 19 , 23 , 24 ].…”

Smoking traditionally has not been considered as a cause of bronchiectasis. However, few studies have evaluated the association between smoking and bronchiectasis. This study aimed to investigate the association between smoking status and bronchiectasis development in young adults. This study included 6,861,282 adults aged 20–39 years from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database 2009–2012 who were followed-up until the date of development of bronchiectasis, death, or 31 December 2018. We evaluated the incidence of bronchiectasis according to smoking status. During a mean of 7.4 years of follow-up, 23,609 (0.3%) participants developed bronchiectasis. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, ex-smokers (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 1.07, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.03–1.13) and current-smokers (aHR = 1.06, 95% CI = 1.02–1.10) were associated with incident bronchiectasis, with the highest HR in ≥ 10 pack-years current smokers (aHR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.06–1.16). The association of smoking with bronchiectasis was more profound in females than in males (p for interaction < 0.001), in younger than in older participants (p for interaction = 0.036), and in the overweight and obese than in the normal weight or underweight (p for interaction = 0.023). In conclusion, our study shows that smoking is associated with incident bronchiectasis in young adults. The association of smoking with bronchiectasis development was stronger in females, 20–29 year-olds, and the overweight and obese than in males, 30–40-year-olds, and the normal weight or underweight, respectively.

In a Korean cohort of more than 11.5 million participants (47.8% men), Yoo et al 1 explored the association between alcohol consumption and gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, paying particular attention to drinking patterns. They examined the separate associations between frequency of drinking and amount consumed per occasion on the one hand and risk of GI cancers on the other.Weekly alcohol consumption, drinking frequency, and amount per occasion were assessed for their association with incident cancers of the esophagus, stomach, colorectum, liver, biliary tract, and pancreas. Approximately 320 000 individuals developed GI cancers. The risk was higher among mild, moderate, and heavy drinkers than among nondrinkers and increased in a dose-dependent manner with drinking frequency. The risks of GI cancer remained flat for consumption higher than 5
