function decline if they still suffered from asthma or actively smoked as adults.»
For the first time, the scientists could quantitate two major trajectories of lung function leading to COPD: the fast decline trajectory, where lung
function declines very rapidly from a normal level, and the alternative trajectory where suboptimal development of lung function during childhood and adolescence is the major determinant of COPD in older age.

function declines more quickly in nondrinkers than in moderate drinkers.
Due to diminished communication from the brain,
gut function declines and can cause symptoms that include constipation and hemorrhoids.
Kidney disease can be broken down into two categories: Chronic kidney disease — When the level of kidney
function declines slowly (chronically), cats may compensate for months to years.
Variable Tension: allows adjustment in level of cranial swing facilitation as patient improves (e.g. fibrocartilagenous embolus) or can be increased as
patient function declines (e.g. degenerative myelopathy).
Association of Obesity and Kidney
Function Decline among Non-Diabetic Adults with eGFR > 60 ml / min / 1.73 m2: Results from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)
When T

The authors found that the accelerated
lung function decline in the women working as cleaners was «comparable to smoking somewhat less than 20 pack - years.»
independently predict renal
function decline in individuals with two copies of APOL1 risk variants.
BOSTON --- A recently published study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society has found that using CT scans to evaluate early signs of hyperkyphosis (extreme forward curvature of the upper spine) in people over age 50 does not help to identify those at risk of subsequent
physical function decline.
Current guidelines recommend restricting dietary protein intake to help manage CKD and slow progression to ESRD; however, there is limited evidence that overall dietary protein restriction or limiting specific food sources of protein intake may slow
kidney function decline in the general population.

function decline in diabetic patients with kidney disease, according to a study that will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2014 November 11 - 16 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA..

Function Decline and Airway Obstruction,» researchers at the University of Bergen in Norway analyzed data from 6,235 participants in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey.
«Women who clean at home or work face increased lung
function decline, study finds.»
«We feared that such chemicals, by steadily causing a little damage to the airways day after day, year after year, might accelerate the rate of lung
function decline that occurs with age.»
«COPD exacerbations lead to lung
function decline, particularly among those with mild COPD.»
«It predicts having heart attacks, having heart failure, becoming diabetic; predicts becoming fragile in old age; predicts cognitive
function decline, even cancer to a certain extent.»
However, this study indicates that not all at risk patients show accelerated lung
function decline, which may explain why, so far, the effect of various treatments of lung function decline has been difficult to establish.
However, this new study reveals that this is the case for only approx. 50 % of patients with COPD, whereas the remaining 50 % develop the disease with close to normal lung
function decline.
The results of the trial demonstrated tolvaptan's ability to intervene in a way that slows kidney
function decline in this population.

function decline.
In a study of 104 patients with CKD, Jason Stubbs, MD, Alan Yu, MB, BChir (The Kidney Institute at the University of Kansas Medical Center), and their colleagues found that blood levels of TMAO increased as kidney
function declined.
And no brain exercise will prevent brain -
function decline that's a result of aging, he adds.
