Clinically remitted childhood asthma is associated with airflow obstruction in middle‐aged adults

While adult asthma has been shown to be a risk factor for COPD, the effect of remitted childhood asthma on adult lung function has not been clarified. The aim of this study was to examine whether remitted childhood asthma is a risk factor for airflow obstruction in a middle‐aged general population.
