To our knowledge, this is the first study to characterise lifetime phenotypes of obstruction
and restriction simultaneously using objective data-driven techniques and unique life
course spirometry measures of FEV1/FVC ratio and FVC from childhood to middle age.
Mixed and obstructive-only patterns indicate those who might benefit from early COPD
interventions. Those with the restrictive-only pattern had evidence of true lung restriction
and were at increased risk of multimorbidity by middle age.

Changes to food allergy guidelines has led to a 16 per cent decrease in peanut allergy among infants, according to new study.
The research, led by the Murdoch Children s Research Institute (MCRI) and to be presented at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Virtual Annual Meeting this Sunday, also found a significant increase in parents introducing peanut into their babies diet since the guideline changes.
Introducing peanut early in a child s life has been shown to prevent peanut allergy during randomised controlled trials. But MCRI PhD candidate and study lead author Victoria Soriano said this research was the first to test the approach in homes and to analyse what impact the guideline changes have had on peanut allergies.
