Background: There is evidence suggesting that body weight is associated with lung function, but results are contradictory and suffer from important limitations. We aimed to assess the association of body weight and composition with lung function growth and decline, overcoming some of the limitations of previous research. Methods: We used data from three population-based cohorts: the Spanish INfancia y Medio Ambiente (‘Environment and Childhood’), the UK Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children and the European Community Respiratory Health Survey. Lung function was measured by spirometry. Body weight was assessed using body mass index (BMI). Body composition (lean body mass and fat mass) was measured using a dual-energy X-ray absor...
