Participants will be identified as having pre-COPD based on both respiratory symptoms and lower baseline lung function. Respiratory symptoms will be identified from the ECRHS IV short survey, including questions on current wheeze, current asthma, current asthma medication, current nasal allergy, chronic cough, chronic phlegm, and use of inhaled steroid medication. Lower baseline lung function will be identified as lower 50 percentile of pre-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC using GLI equation lung function reference at ECRHS IV.
Participants do not meet the spirometric criteria for COPD (post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC <0.7) at ECRHS IV.
