“…Although we had a relatively small sample size, the association between FeNO and self-reported respiratory symptoms indicates that we may have accurately captured airway inflammation as it relates to the presence of symptoms [ 39 , 58 ]. While we did not see an association between FeNO and age or FeNO and height, as we would have expected based on previous literature, [ 38 , 39 , 58 , 59 , 60 ], this may be due to the relatively small range of age and height in our study. For example, our study population only covered adults age 25–56 (mean 37.1 years, SD: 9.1 years).…”

Household air pollution is estimated to be responsible for nearly three million premature deaths annually. Measuring fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) may improve the limited understanding of the association of household air pollution and airway inflammation. We evaluated the cross-sectional association of FeNO with exposure to household air pollution (24-h average kitchen and personal fine particulate matter and black carbon; stove type) among 139 women in rural Honduras using traditional stoves or cleaner-burning Justa stoves. We additionally evaluated interaction by age. Results were generally consistent with a null association; we did not observe a consistent pattern for interaction by age. Evidence from ambient and household air pollution regarding FeNO is inconsistent, and may be attributable to differing study populations, exposures, and FeNO measurement procedures (e.g., the flow rate used to measure FeNO).
