Airway microbiome composition correlates with lung function and arterial stiffness in an age-dependent manner.

Airway microbiome composition correlates with lung function and arterial stiffness in an age-dependent manner.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate age-associated changes in airway microbiome composition and their relationships with lung function and arterial stiffness among genetically matched young and elderly pairs. METHODS:Twenty-four genetically linked family pairs comprised of younger (≤40 years) and older (≥60 ye...
