How lungs and heart change over a lifetime of health
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study follows healthy adults over decades to understand how lung and heart function naturally change with age. Researchers will measure your breathing and heart health to help them spot early warning signs of disease in future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 24 and 68 years old
- You have never had breathing problems or chest symptoms
- You don't take any medications for your lungs or airways
- You have not smoked cigarettes in the past year, and have smoked less than 5 pack-years in your lifetime
- You do not use cannabis by inhaling it more than twice a week (and haven't in the past year)
- You do not have serious conditions like cancer, heart disease, autoimmune disease, or organ transplants

This study looks at how different levels of outdoor air pollution may affect heart and lung health, and how a person’s socioeconomic situation and nutrition might change the risk. You may be asked to do health checks and help the team understand your usual diet and symptoms.
This study looks at different lung immune cell patterns and how they work in smokers who are not yet diagnosed with COPD or asthma. It may help researchers understand why some people are more likely to develop COPD, which could guide future prevention or early treatments.
This study follows adults with heart-and-lung health information over time to understand how these conditions change. It may help researchers find patterns that could guide better care in the future.
This study looks at how COPD affects your breathing and heart health. It is for people who are newly diagnosed with COPD and have a history of smoking.
This study follows people with early COPD patterns (or no lung disease) to understand how COPD starts and progresses over time. You may have breathing tests and possibly CT scans, and some participants may join an added lung procedure (bronchoscopy).
This study looks at how much people with long-term lung diseases know about climate change, heat waves, air pollution, and physical activity. It will help doctors understand how these factors affect your health and how to better support you.
