In the multinational Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease (BOLD) cohort study, we have found that bronchodilator responsiveness is a determinant of chronic airflow obstruction. This is a hallmark of #COPD.

Bronchodilator responsiveness and future chronic airflow obstruction: a multinational longitudinal study
Bronchodilator responsiveness testing is mainly used for diagnosing asthma. We aimed to investigate whether it is associated with progression to chron…

Using longitudinal data from almost 6,000 adults of the BOLD cohort, which includes sites in low- and middle-income countries, we have shown that the development of diabetes, heart disease and stroke is more likely to occur among people with lower lung volumes.

Many people with #COPD have cardiovascular disease and diabetes. However, several studies suggest that cardiometabolic diseases are more closely related to low lung volumes than COPD. Most of these studies have been cross-sectional and conducted in high-income countries.
