Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Age–period–cohort (APC) analyses are increasingly used to interpret temporal trends in self-reported chronic lung disease (CLD), but period and cohort effects may reflect different mechanisms, including changes in diagnostic access and long-term exposure profiles. We examined these patterns using harmonised ageing cohorts across multiple world regions. Methods We analysed 1...
