This research is being done to find out why some people have better lung function than others as young adults. This will allow us to come up with ideas about how to promote the best possible lung function in adults and also prevent and treat lung diseases like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis (scarring in the lungs), and lung cancer.
At your first visit, you will answer questions, do lung tests, provide blood, urine, and nasal samples and have a CAT scan of your chest. You will be asked to do additional testing at home and have follow-up questionnaires answered via phone every 3 months for up to 4.5 years.
