Air pollution and dynamic transitions of preserved ratio impaired spirometry in UK Biobank - Communications Medicine
Han, Pan et al. analyse longitudinal lung function changes in UK Biobank to assess the impact of air pollution. They show that pollutants increase the risk of progression to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hinder recovery from pre-COPD to normal lung function, revealing a dual pathway by which pollution harms respiratory health.

All good points, I don’t think this is a huge investment, biobanks like UKBiobank, and other cohort studies have inherent value and this is just piggybacked onto that. I don’t know that we need RDR or any specific social scientist in genetics, but we do need the social sciences in genetics
