“…The main outcome of interest was FEV 1 and it has been the most widely reported index of lung function in the included studies.

All the included studies reported estimates for FEV 1 , either as mean values of volume, [12][13][14]16,17,20,21,23,25,26,28,30 mean difference, 15,18,19,22,24,27,31 or z-scores.…”

This study aims to evaluate the association between socioeconomic conditions and the lung function of children below 18 years old. Design: Systematic review. Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed to browse relevant studies from 2013 to 2023. Data from the included studies were extracted after the Newcastle-Ottawa risk of bias tool was applied. Main Outcome: Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV 1 ) liters. Results: 20 papers with 89,619 participants were included. Logistic regression model for FEV 1 based on multiple SES indices, suggested a positive association between lower respiratory function and a lower SES, with an interquartile odds ratio (OR) of 1.67 (95% CI 1.03-1.34). Conclusion:Children from a lower socioeconomic status (SES) do exhibit lower lung function and addressing the causes of this can contribute to developing preventive public health strategies. Limitations: Lack of appropriate reference values and varied indicators of socioeconomic status in the studies contributed to significant statistical differences.

“…The multivariate analysis of factors affecting lung function showed a lower risk of lung function decline at a high economic level, which is consistent with previously reported results. 27 Women aged > 60 years are at greater risk of declining lung function, and studies have shown that healthy non-smokers begin to lose lung function with age, starting at age 30. 28 , 29 In the present study, women who drank tea had a greater risk of reduced lung function compared to that in women who did not, contrary to previous findings.…”

Background In recent decades, obesity has become an epidemic worldwide and is a risk factor for many chronic diseases. Lung function is also a predictor of various chronic diseases. However, research results on the association between obesity and lung function are inconsistent and few studies have evaluated the association between central obesity indicators and lung function. Therefore, this study explored the correlation between central obesity and lung function. Methods This study is a cross-sectional study. The basic participant characteristics were collected by questionnaire. A tape measure was used to measure waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC). Body fat percentage was measured using an InBody370. Lung function parameters were measured using a digital spirometer connected to a computer (Chestgraph HI-101). R (R4.0.5) software was used for data analysis. A generalized linear model was used to analyze the association between obesity and lung function. Results This study found that body mass index (BMI) adjusted for WC was negatively correlated with forced vital capacity (FVC) (β=−0.05 [−0.06, −0.03] in men, β=−0.05 [−0.07, −0.04] in women) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)(β=−0.02 [−0.03, −0.00] in men, β=−0.03 [−0.04, −0.02] in women). Body fat percentage was negatively correlated with FVC (β=−0.01 [−0.01, −0.01] in men, β=−0.01 [−0.01, −0.00] in women). Conclusion Central obesity and combined central and general obesity were more strongly positively correlated with lung function. WC-adjusted BMI was negatively correlated with lung function. Body fat percentage was negatively correlated with lung function.

“…That rates of dyspnoea are higher among people experiencing poverty and deprivation is not surprising given considerable evidence indicating that lung function is negatively correlated with socio-economic status across the life course, even when controlling for smoking status, occupational exposures and ethnicity. 46 The influence of sub-standard housing is a likely contributory factor. 47 Research also indicates that the experience, and response to, dyspnea is shaped by social context and a model of ‘total dyspnea’, similar to that of ‘total pain’, has been proposed.…”

The impact of poverty and deprivation at the end of life: a critical review

This critical review interrogates what we know about how poverty and deprivation impact people at the end of life and what more we need to uncover. While we know that people in economically resource-rich countries who experience poverty and deprivation over the life course are likely to die younger, with increased co-morbidities, palliative care researchers are beginning to establish a full picture of the disproportionate impact of poverty on how, when and where we die. This is something the Covid-19 pandemic has further illustrated. Our article uses a critical social science lens to investigate an eclectic range of literature addressing health inequities and is focused on poverty and deprivation at the end of life. Our aim was to see if we could shed new light on the myriad ways in which experiences of poverty shape the end of people’s lives. We start by exploring the definitions and language of poverty while acknowledging the multiple intersecting identities that produce privilege. We then discuss poverty and deprivation as a context for the nature of palliative care need and overall end-of-life circumstances. In particular, we explore: total pain; choice at the end of life; access to palliative care; and family caregiving. Overall, we argue that in addressing the effects of poverty and deprivation on end-of-life experiences, there is a need to recognise not just socio-economic injustice but also cultural and symbolic injustice. Too often, a deficit-based approach is adopted which both ‘Others’ those living with poverty and renders invisible the strategies and resilience they develop to support themselves, their families and communities. We conclude with some recommendations for future research, highlighting in particular the need to amplify the voices of people with lived experience of poverty regarding palliative and end-of-life care.
