“…However, its inclusion in the model did not decrease the effect of smoking habits on ALS outcome. The prevalence of COPD in our population is in keeping with recent epidemiological studies in the Italian population 26 27. In our cohort COPD was also found in never-smokers patients, though in a smaller percentage than in current and former smokers 28…”

This study has demonstrated in a large population-based cohort of patients with ALS that cigarette smoking is an independent negative prognostic factor for survival, with a dose-response gradient. Its effect is not related to the presence of COPD or to respiratory status at time of diagnosis. The understanding of the mechanisms, either genetic or epigenetic, through which exogenous factors influence disease phenotype is of major importance towards a more focused approach to cure ALS.

“…In that Italian study, the increase in current asthma was observed mainly among subjects without a report of allergic rhinitis, which contrasts to our results. Another Italian study over 25 years also found an increase in asthma prevalence until 2011 . Results on asthma prevalence trends among adults are lacking for the time‐period after 2011, why our up‐to‐date results of an ongoing increase add important knowledge to this field.…”

SummaryBackground: During the latter half of the 20th century, the prevalence of asthma and many other allergic diseases has increased. Information on asthma prevalence trends among adults after 2010, especially regarding studies separating allergic asthma from non-allergic asthma, is lacking.Objective: The aim was to estimate prevalence trends of current asthma among adults, both allergic and non-allergic, from 1996 to 2016. while the prevalence of non-allergic asthma remained stable around 3.4%-3.8%. The increase in current asthma was most pronounced among women and among the middle-aged. Physician-diagnosed asthma, asthma medication use and ARC also increased significantly, while the prevalence of symptoms common in asthma such as wheeze and attacks of shortness of breath decreased slightly or was stable. The prevalence of current smoking decreased from 27.4% in 1996 to 12.3% in 2016. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance:The prevalence of allergic asthma increased from 1996 to 2006 and further to 2016, while the prevalence of non-allergic asthma remained on a stable prevalence level. The prevalence of symptoms common in asthma decreased slightly or was stable despite a substantial decrease in the prevalence of current smoking. Clinicians should be aware that the previously observed increase in prevalence of allergic asthma is still ongoing.

“…Such studies were also the basis to ascertain the overlap of asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema, with or without airflow obstruction, through a Proportional Venn Diagram [12]. At last, the very recent publication covering a 25-year span [13] has reported a definite increasing trend for all chronic obstructive respiratory symptoms / diseases, as well as for airflow obstruction, with the highest increments shown by allergic rhinitis, usual phlegm, COPD, and airflow obstruction.…”
