本研究分析了教育和收入对发展的影响慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)评估肺功能和住院。研究人口由14223例,年龄在20 - 90岁,1976年从哥本哈根的人口随机抽样。社会经济因素之间的关联和一秒用力呼气量(FEV1)、用力肺活量(FVC)在研究条目被线性回归分析。社会经济因素之间的关系和入院治疗的慢性阻塞性肺病的风险研究条目,直到1993年被注册链接评估。教育和收入与FEV1和FVC的独立相关。的年龄和height-adjusted残差(平均+ /钙最高和最低之间的教育水平和收入是259 + / -31毫升在女性和男性400 + / -39毫升。额外的调整后吸烟,吸入的量和持续时间,不同的是220 + / -31毫升和363 + / -39毫升在女性和男性,分别。结果FVC是相同的大小。使用一个社会经济指数相结合的信息教育和家庭收入与肺功能不因年龄而异。共有219名女性和265名男性对COPD住院随访中。 Education and income were significantly associated with admission to hospital. After detailed adjustment for smoking the relative risks (95% confidence intervals) for medium and high versus low socioeconomic index in females were 0.74 (0.55-1.02) and 0.27 (0.10-0.73), respectively. Corresponding relative risks in males were 0.47 (0.36-0.63) and 0.35 (0.17-0.70). The results indicate that socioeconomic factors operating from early in life affect the adult risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease independently of smoking in both females and males.
