DNA methylation has been shown to be associated with adiposity in adulthood. However, whether similar DNA methylation patterns are associated with childhood and adolescent body mass index (BMI) is largely unknown. More insight into this relationship at younger ages may have implications for future prevention of obesity and its related traits. We examined whether DNA methylation in cord blood and whole blood in childhood and adolescence was associated with BMI in the age range from 2 to 18 years using both cross-sectional and longitudinal models.
In healthy individuals, deep inspirations (DIs) taken prior to a bronchial challenge reduce the bronchoconstrictor response, which is termed...
Professor Graham Hall says one of the best things about research is seeing his students and colleagues succeed.
The hearts of everyone at The Kids go out to the family and friends of Lachlan Hernaman, a long-term participant in lung health research who died suddenly on April 30.
This study aimed to determine whether breathing 100% oxygen altered tidal breathing parameters in healthy young children and young children with CF.

Inert gas washout tests, performed using the single- or multiple-breath washout technique, were first described over 60 years ago.
The discoveries that have set our research apart primarily relate to the factors early in life that cause life-long respiratory problems.
Perioperative respiratory adverse events pose a significant risk in pediatric anesthesia, and identifying these risks is vital. Traditionally, this is assessed using history and examination. However, the perioperative risk is multifactorial, and children with complex medical backgrounds such as chronic lung disease or obesity may benefit from additional objective preoperative pulmonary function tests.
