“…That population-based study examined respiratory function in a USA population of 7,429 healthy live-long nonsmokers between 8 and 80 years of age; people suffering from wheezing, coughs, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer were excluded. Using the 'normal values' reported by Hankinson et al (1999) in 988 healthy non-smokers between 20 and 84 years of age the following equations to calculate predicted lung age (PLA) using the manoeuvre with the highest FVC+FEV 1 were derived by (Morris and Temple 1985):…”

Ageing is accompanied with a decline in respiratory function. It is hypothesised that this may be attenuated by high physical activity levels. We performed spirometry in master athletes (71 women; 84 men; 35-86 years) and sedentary people (39 women; 45 men; 24-82 years), and calculated the predicted lung age (PLA). The negative associations of age with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1 ; 34 mL·year −1 ) and other ventilatory parameters were similar in controls and master athletes. FEV 1pred was 9 % higher (P<0.005) and PLA 15 % lower (P00.013) in athletes than controls. There were no significant differences between endurance and power athletes and sedentary people in maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure.Neither age-graded performance nor weekly training hours were significantly related to lung age. Life-long exercise does not appear to attenuate the age-related decrease in ventilatory function. The better respiratory function in master athletes than age-matched sedentary people might be due to self-selection and attrition bias.

Total dietary antioxidant capacity and lung function in an Italian population: a favorable role in premenopausal/never smoker women

et al. 2011

Background/Objectives: Antioxidant-rich foods may favorably influence lung function. We examined possible associations between the total dietary antioxidant capacity (TAC) and pulmonary function in a healthy Italian population. Subjects/Methods: Until May 2009, 22 300 persons were randomly recruited from the general population in the Moli-sani project. A sample only including healthy women (5824) and men (5848) was analyzed. TAC was measured in foods by three different assays and the ferric reducing-antioxidant power (FRAP) assay was selected as the better indicator of dietary TAC. The European Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Food Frequency Questionnaire was used for dietary assessment. The association between quintiles of dietary FRAP and pulmonary indexes was assessed using analysis of variance separately for men and women. Results: After adjustment for confounders, women in the highest quintile of FRAP intake had þ 39 ml forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV 1 ) and þ 54 ml forced vital capacity, compared with those in the lowest quintile (P for trend p0.006). Stratified analysis showed that this relationship only occurred in women who were premenopausal/never smokers. In this subgroup, the observed effect of higher FRAP intake on FEV 1 was equivalent to an improvement in pulmonary age of 3.3 years. In men, all significant associations between pulmonary function and TAC were lost after adjustment for confounding. Conclusions: Dietary TAC may have a favorable role in respiratory health, particularly in premenopausal/never smoker women.
