Session aims
to provide a life-course approach to respiratory health and lung function from birth to adulthood; to explain the prenatal and perinatal mechanisms involved in increased susceptibility priming of the lung for disease later in life; to summarise the current evidence on early-life risk factors that are associated with respiratory symptoms and lower lung function trajectories later in childhood; to present data from large respiratory cohort studies on tracking of lung function trajectories from school age to adulthood and the factors that define these trajectories; to discuss how this knowledge is translated into clinical practice, examining the role that paediatric clinical history is playing in managing respiratory health in adults.
