Guevara-Rattray EM, et al. - This study looked at the possibility of an independent link between atopy and post-bronchodilator airflow limitation in the general population aged 40 years and over. According to findings, a link was apparent between atopy and post-bronchodilator airflow limitation in these subjects, which appeared to be explained by the link between atopy and having ever diagnosed asthma and the impact of asthma on lung function.
