Ageing Lungs in European Cohorts

[Giancarlo Pesce @GiancarloPesce]

Low levels of DHEA-S (sex hormones precursor) predicts airflow obstruction in women. Our latest @AlecStudy work published on @EClinicalMed https://t.co/y1BaBJspH5

[Gabriela P. Peralta @gabriela___p]

Weight change is associated with the rate of lung function decline in adulthood

"Incidence trends of airflow obstruction among European adults without #asthma", just published on @SciReports !! (https://t.co/EDqw69hHou)

Congratulations Simone, @soguraga, @GiancarloPesce, and @AlecStudy team!!

New from @biorxivpreprint #Epigenetic clocks predict prevalence and incidence of leading causes of death and disease burden https://t.co/2XFBoOCiP1 #GrimAge assocition with #COPD and #lungfunction confirms our recent @AlecStudy paper https://t.co/omSU4jDpG9

[John Holloway @ProfJWHolloway]

Just out: our latest paper from @AlecStudy: Association of adult #lungfunction with accelerated biological aging https://t.co/omSU4jDpG9 in @AgingJrnl : lifespan and plasma level predictors were strongly associated with lung function decline @UoS_Medicine @DebbieJarvis79

Our article on #smoking initiation in Europe is one of the @plosone most-cited papers of 2018! Thanks @GiancarloPesce & @AlecStudy team #plosmostcited #plosoneauthor https://t.co/urVsuUbYVw

[Alessandro Marcon @alemagoo]

This is our latest #researchpaper within the @AlecStudy... and our small contribution to further discussing #PrecisionMedicine in #asthma. Thanks @doson_trip for all the hard work done together! #epitwitter

New research published by the ALEC Study

[Gabriela P. Peralta @gabriela___p]

Regular physical activity in childhood is associated with higher lung-function values in adolescent girls.

Nice manuscript leaded by @Cel_Roda and @judithgarciaaym

New research published by the ALEC Study

[John Holloway @ProfJWHolloway]

DNA methylation links prenatal smoking exposure to later life health outcomes in offspring https://t.co/bqxOYqQ98e new paper from @AlecStudy #NFBC #IoWBC @CO90s DNAm changes from prenatal exposures persist to adulthood & potentially mediate health outcomes across the life course

[John Holloway @ProfJWHolloway]

Check out our new #EWAS on #lung function: A great effort by all the @AlecStudy team. lung function associated methylation signals in adults are predominantly smoking-related. Weak signals in never smokers need larger sample size in follow up studies

Second day of @AlecStudy meeting in London. Judith Garcia-Aymerich presenting results on #occupational #exposure on #lung #COPD #lungfunction decline #EUresearch

[The ALEC Study @AlecStudy]

@judithgarciaaym from @ISGLOBALorg presenting @AlecStudy research on the effect of #occupational #exposure and #cleaning on lung function decline. #copd

[NHLI @ImperialNHLI]

Really enjoying today's @AlecStudy meeting organised by Professor Debbie Jarvis. Learning about ‘risk prediction modelling’, ‘inputting missing values’, & pre-conception influences on lung function & #COPD risk. Fascinating stuff - Prof Chilvers #ageing
