FEV1 Decline in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Associated with Biomass Exposure

Abstract: In the biomass exposure COPD group the rate of FEV1 decline is slower and shows a more homogeneous rate of decline over time in comparison with smokers. The rapid rate of FEV1 decline is a rare feature of biomass-induced airflow limitation.

“…In a recent cohort study in Mexico, the rate of lung function decline was greater in women with tobaccoassociated COPD compared with biomass-associated COPD (42 mL/y vs 23 mL/y), and those with biomassassociated COPD were older on average and with less severe COPD. 24 It is also interesting that these chronically biomass-exposed women had, on average, . 100% predicted values for FEV 1 and FVC.…”

“…Consistent with this is the reported increased prevalence of an overlap between asthma and COPD [74]. Systemic and pulmonary inflammation is similar to cigarette smoke-induced disease [75,76], with less emphysema [77] and less rapid FEV1 decline [78]. Patients decline more slowly if the biomass exposure is reduced [28], but is not clear whether inhaled therapies used for "usual COPD" are of similar efficacy.…”

“…COPD caused by biomass smoke (B-COPD) differs from COPD related to tobacco (T-COPD), for example, it has a slower decline of FEV 1 and a different distribution of phenotypes [8][9][10] . However, there are few data regarding the prevalence of comorbidities in both disease types.…”
