Nutritional status, especially body mass index, from birth to adulthood and lung function in young adulthood

Abstract: BMI and waist circumference in adulthood make a greater impact on lung function in adulthood than anthropometric measurements at birth and infancy. Proxy measures of fatness in adulthood reduce lung function, but the pattern between fatness and lung function by sex may be different.

“…Possibly this is because birth weight is the most available measure in many datasets. One cohort used multiple measures including BMI at birth and 1 year to predict adult spirometry 16. In keeping with this report, we found birth weight to be an equivalent or better predictor of adult lung function than some other measures of birth size, including length.…”

“…One study found that adult FEV 1 and FVC were positively associated with weight gain in the first year of life although the effect on FEV 1 was not statistically significant in men 10. However, another cohort found that growth in the first year of life was not related to adult lung function 16. Other studies have reported that greater postnatal weight gain is associated with lower lung function in infancy 17 18…”

“…Reductions in FEV 1 and FVC have been documented in extremely obese subjects, as well as a reduction in lung volume 17,18. Both BMI and weight gain have been associated with declines in lung function in the general population 1921. A large cross-sectional, population-based study conducted in France concluded that abdominal obesity was the strongest predictor of lung-function impairment (odds ratio [OR] 1.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.80–2.09; and OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.95–2.29; for FEV 1 and FVC, respectively) 22.…”

“…All studies were in English and all 18 articles reported associations for FVC, while only 10 also reported FEV1/FVC. One article reported results from two different study populations (17) and five reported results for males and females separately (18)(19)(20)(21)(22), so the total number of comparisons was 24 for FVC and 14 for FEV1/FVC ( Figure E1). Birth weight was investigated in all 18 studies, whereas there was only one for weight at one year and another one for weight gain in the first year of life.…”
