• Description:
  Rationale: The objective of this study is to identify and characterize occupational and non-occupational risk factors for obstructive lung disease in an older U.S. population. We hypothesize that airflow obstruction is associated with occupational exposures to vapor/gas, dust, and fume (VGDF). Methods: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) recruited a population-based sample of adults 45-84 years old who were free of clinical cardiovascular disease in 2000-02. The MESA Lung Study measured spirometry and ascertained job history and occupational exposures for 3,667 participants. Airflow limitation was defined as the ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/ FVC) below the lower limit of normal (LLN) and FEV1
