Reduced pulmonary function, low-grade inflammation and increased risk of total and cardiovascular mortality in a general adult population: Prospective results from the Moli-sani study - 11/06/21
for the Moli-sani Study Investigators1
Abstract |
Aim |
to investigate the relation of pulmonary function impairment with mortality and the possible mediation by low-grade inflammation in a general adult population.
Methods |
A prospective investigation was conducted on 14,503 individuals from the Moli-sani study (apparently free from lung disease and acute inflammatory status at baseline; 2005–2010).
The 2012 Global Lung Function Initiative percent predicted (% pred) value of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory flow at 25–75% of FVC (FEF25-75) and FEV1 quotient (FEV1Q) index were used. C-reactive protein and blood cell counts were measured and a score of subclinical inflammation (INFLA-score) was calculated.
Results |
Over a median follow-up of 8.6y, 503 deaths (28.9% cardiovascular) were ascertained. Total mortality increased by 19% for each decrease in 1 standard deviation of FEV1% pred or FVC% pred (Hazard Ratio:1.19; 95% CI:1.11–1.28 and 1.19; 1.10–1.28, respectively). Comparable findings for FEV1Q (1.30; 1.15–1.47) were observed. A statistically significant increased risk in cardiovascular mortality of 23%, 32% and 49% was observed for 1 standard deviation decrease of FEV1% pred, FVC% pred and FEV1Q, respectively. INFLA-score mediated the association of FEV1% pred and FEV1Q with cardiovascular mortality by 22.3% and 20.1%, respectively. Subjects with FEV1, FVC lower than normal limit showed increased risk both in total and cardiovascular mortality. Abnormal FEF25-75 values were associated with 33% (1.33; 1.02–1.74) total mortality risk.
Conclusions |
Obstructive lung function impairment was associated with decreased survival. Low-grade inflammation mainly mediated the association of FEV1 with cardiovascular mortality.

• | Lung function parameters were inversely associated with low-grade inflammation. |
• | Lung function decline was associated with a high total and cardiovascular mortality. |
• | Low-grade inflammation mediates the link between FEV1 and cardiovascular mortality. |
