It seems that the best intervention to prevent #COPD would be to erradicate poverty... The ALEC Study

Professors Henderson and Dharmage presenting @Alecstudy, Children of the 90s and TAHS research on lung function trajectories

Really enjoying today's The ALEC Study 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

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

Iana Markevych from Universität München presenting The ALEC Study research showing adolescents and adults living greener areas have better lung function. #greenness #environment #greenspaces #lungs

Research showing an association between #asthma as a young adult and the risk of #copd in later life. The ALEC Study research presented by Alessandro Marcon.

Debbie Jarvis presenting the online The ALEC Study #lifetime #copd risk prediction tool.

Check out our new #EWAS on #lung function: A great effort by all the The ALEC Study 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

This is our latest #researchpaper within the The ALEC Study... and our small contribution to further discussing #PrecisionMedicine in #asthma. Thanks Mi luminol di mensa for all the hard work done together! #epitwitter

Our article on #smoking initiation in Europe is one of the @plosone most-cited papers of 2018! Thanks Giancarlo Pesce & The ALEC Study team #plosmostcited #plosoneauthor journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
