Milk Consumption and Respiratory Function in Asthma Patients: NHANES Analysis 2007-2012.

Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, asthma prevalence has steadily risen since the 1980s. Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), we investigated associations between milk consumption and pulmonary function (PF). Multivariable analyses were performed, adjusted for potential confounders for lung function, within the eligible total adult population ( = 11,131) and those self-reporting asthma ( = 1,542), included the following variables: milk-consumption, asthma diagnosis, forced vital capacity (FVC), FVC%-predicted (%), forced expiratory volume in one-second (FEV), FEV% and FEV/FVC.
