Deep Functional Phenotyping of the ALA Lung Health Cohort
The goal of this observational study is to learn about lung structure and function in a group of 1000 healthy people aged 25 to 35. The main questions it aims to answer are whether people's bodies, environment, and general lung health are associated with:
* the structure of the participants lungs' airways,
* the structure of blood vessels in the participants lungs and heart, and
* the participants lungs' ability to exchange gases.
Participants will take four different lung function tests to measure lung function, including:
* air movement in the lungs (oscillometry)
* lung size (slow vital capacity (SVC) and functional residual capacity (FRC)
* gas transfer in the lungs (diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO).
