Reply: An index of maximal expiratory flow–volume curve with different features related to central and peripheral concavity

Key Points

To address the relationship between features of the MEFV curve's concavity and the incidence of COPD and respiratory symptoms.
Responded to previous research inquiries regarding the MEFV curve
Referred to findings from the Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study (TAHS) about concavity properties
Highlighted correlations with respiratory symptoms and COPD incidence
Concavity of the MEFV curve is noted to be associated with COPD incidence
Variations in central and peripheral concavity are discussed in context of respiratory health

Abstract

Extract Reply to F. Mochizuki and colleagues: We thank F. Mochizuki and colleagues for their interest in our recent Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study (TAHS) publication on concavity of the maximal expiratory flow–volume (MEFV) curve and its association with incidence of COPD and respiratory symptoms 1.
