Purpose. We aimed to determine the value of lung function measurement for predicting cardiovascular (CV) disease by evaluating the association between FEV1 (%) and CV risk factors in general population. Materials and Methods. This was a cross-sectional, retrospective study of subjects above 18 years of age who underwent health examinations. The relationship between FEV1 (%) and presence of carotid plaque and thickened carotid IMT (≥0.8 mm) was analyzed by multiple logistic regression, and the relationship between FEV1 (%) and PWV (%), and serum uric acid was analyzed by multiple linear regression. Various factors were adjusted by using Model 1 and Model 2. Results. 1,003 subjects were enrolled in this study and 96.7% (n = 970) of the subjects were men. In both models, the odds ratio of the presence of carotid plaque and thickened carotid IMT had no consistent trend and statistical significance. In the analysis of the PWV (%) and uric acid, there was no significant relationship with FEV1 (%) in both models. Conclusion. FEV1 had no significant relationship with CV risk factors. The result suggests that FEV1 may have no association with CV risk factors or may be insensitive to detecting the association in general population without airflow limitation.

“…PSI is a cooperation of all eight Dutch University Medical Centers (UMCs) and aims at building large prospectively collected datasets with uniform and standardized storage of biomaterials for complex diseases. Currently, PSI covers 18 disease-specific cohorts called 'Pearls', and this number is still growing [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. PSI is centrally organized and has an executive board for operational management to ensure collective standardization strategies.…”

The Parelsnoer Institute (PSI) is a collaborative biobanking project of all eight University Medical Centers in the Netherlands which was launched in 2007. Basically, PSI consists of three dimensions: participating institutions, disease entities and a central organization. An executive board for operational management instigates collective strategic and tactic policies and a central team of PSI experts and advisors supports the researchers and the board in establishing and implementing standards and procedures. PSI offers researchers an infrastructure and standard procedures for the establishment, expansion and optimisation of clinical biobanks for scientific research. To ensure patient privacy clinical data is pseudomized and carefully stored in a central database. Human biomaterials are collected according to nationally agreed standards.Currently PSI covers fifteen large disease specific cohorts (the so-called 'Parels' or 'Pearls') and new 'Pearls' are being developed. The Parelsnoer Institute currently (December 2016) has stored more than 538,000 biospecimens with annotated clinical data of more than 30,000 patients. All these materials and data are available for anyone with a bona fide research proposal.
