Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and physical activity were assessed in 2 population-based European cohorts (European Community Respiratory Health Survey: n = 2,757, aged 39-67 years; and Swiss Study on Air Pollution and Lung and Heart Diseases in Adults: n = 2,610, aged 36-82 years) first in 2000-2002 and again approximately 10 years later (2010-2013). Subjects with restrictive or obstructive spirometry pattern at baseline were excluded. We assessed the association of being active at baseline (defined as being physically active at least 2-3 times/week for ≥1 hour) with restrictive spirometry pattern at follow-up (defined as a postbronchodilation FEV1/FVC ratio of at least the lower limit of normal and FVC ofenBMIFVCphysical activityrestrictive spirometryspirometryAdultAgedAged, 80 and overEuropeExerciseFemaleForced Expiratory VolumeHumansIncidenceLongitudinal StudiesMaleMiddle AgedRespiration DisordersSpirometryVital Capacityresearch article32510134open access10.1093/aje/kwaa0871476-6256http://repositori.upf.edu/bitstream/10230/47151/1/Car_MS_Reg.pdf
