NCT ID NCT04543461
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will follow 4,000 adults aged 25-35 without severe lung disease over time. Researchers will measure lung function to learn what healthy lungs look like and find early warning signs of chronic lung disease. Participants do not receive any treatment—the goal is to gather knowledge to prevent future lung problems.
