  • Body mass index and weight change are associated with adult lung function trajectories: the prospective ECRHS study
    Peralta, Gabriela P.; Carsin, Anne-Elie; Antó i Boqué, Josep Maria; Zock, Jan-Paul; García Aymerich, Judith (BMJ Publishing Group, 2020)
    BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported an association between weight increase and excess lung function decline in young adults followed for short periods. We aimed to estimate lung function trajectories during adulthood ...
  • Childhood body composition trajectories and adolescent lung function. Findings from the ALSPAC study
    Peralta, Gabriela P.; Fuertes, Elaine; Granell, Raquel; Mahmoud, Osama; Roda, Célina; Serra, Ignasi; Jarvis, Deborah; Henderson, John; García Aymerich, Judith (American Thoracic Society, 2019)
    Rationale: Body composition changes throughout life may explain the inconsistent associations reported between body mass index and lung function in children. Objectives: To assess the associations of body weight and ...
  • Early childhood growth is associated with lung function at 7 years: a prospective population-based study
    Peralta, Gabriela P.; Abellan, Alicia; Montazeri, Parisa; Basterrechea, Mikel; Esplugues, Ana; González-Palacios, Sandra; Roda, Célina; Santa Marina, Loreto; Sunyer Deu, Jordi; Vrijheid, Martine; Casas Sanahuja, Maribel; García Aymerich, Judith (European Respiratory Society, 2020)
    Previous studies have related early postnatal growth with later lung function but their interpretation is limited by the methods used to assess a child's growth. We aimed to assess the association of early childhood growth, ...
  • Early-life and health behaviour influences on lung function in early adulthood
    Mahmoud, Osama; Granell, Raquel; Peralta, Gabriela P.; García Aymerich, Judith; Jarvis, Deborah; Henderson, John; Sterne, Jonathan (European Respiratory Society, 2023)
    Early-life exposures may influence lung function at different stages of the life course. However, the relative importance of characteristics at different stages of infancy and childhood are unclear. To examine the associations ...
  • Mid-childhood fat mass and airflow limitation at 15 years: The mediating role of insulin resistance and C-reactive protein
    Peralta, Gabriela P.; Granell, Raquel; Bédard, Annabelle, 1986-; Carsin, Anne-Elie; Fuertes, Elaine; Howe, Laura D.; Márquez, Sandra; Jarvis, Deborah; García Aymerich, Judith (Wiley, 2022)
    Background: We previously reported an association of high fat mass levels from age 9 to 15 years with lower forced expiratory flow in 1 s (FEV1 )/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio (i.e., increased risk of airflow limitation) ...
  • Physical activity and lung function-Cause or consequence?
    Bédard, Annabelle, 1986-; Carsin, Anne-Elie; Fuertes, Elaine; Accordini, Simone; Dharmage, Shyamali C.; Garcia Larsen, Vanessa; Heinrich, Joachim; Janson, Christer; Johannessen, Ane; Leynaert, Bénédicte; Sánchez-Ramos, José Luis; Peralta, Gabriela P.; Pin, Isabelle; Squillacioti, Giulia; Weyler, Joost; Jarvis, Deborah; García Aymerich, Judith (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2020)
    Concerns exist that the positive association of physical activity with better lung function, which has been suggested in previous longitudinal studies in smokers, is due to reverse causation. To investigate this, we applied ...
  • Physical-activity trajectories during childhood and lung function at 15 years: findings from the ALSPAC cohort
    Roda, Célina; Mahmoud, Osama; Peralta, Gabriela P.; Fuertes, Elaine; Granell, Raquel; Serra, Ignasi; Henderson, John; Jarvis, Deborah; García Aymerich, Judith (Oxford University Press, 2020)
    Background: Although physical activity has many known health benefits, its association with lung function in childhood/adolescence remains unclear. We examined the association of physical-activity trajectories between 11 ...
  • Role of DNA methylation in the association of lung function with body mass index: a two-step epigenetic Mendelian randomisation study
    Amaral, André F.S.; Imboden, Medea; Wielscher, Matthias; Rezwan, Faisal I.; Minelli, Cosetta; García Aymerich, Judith; Peralta, Gabriela P.; Auvinen, Juha; Jeong, Ayoung; Schaffner, Emmanuel; Beckmeyer-Borowko, Anna B.; Holloway, John W.; Jarvelin, Marjo-Riitta; Probst-Hensch, Nicole; Jarvis, Deborah; ALEC consortium (BioMed Central, 2020)
    Background: Low lung function has been associated with increased body mass index (BMI). The aim of this study was to investigate whether the effect of BMI on lung function is mediated by DNA methylation. Methods: We used ...
