Background Prediction of future lung function will enable the identification of individuals at
high risk of developing COPD, but the trajectory of lung function decline varies greatly …

Background Classifying individuals at high chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-
risk creates opportunities for early COPD detection and active intervention. Objective To …
