Respiratory vulnerability index is associated with incident chronic lung disease in humans (HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.27–1.41 per 1-point increase).
“Each 1-point increase in RSV score was associated with a 34% higher risk of incident CLD (HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.27–1.41).”

Higher vulnerability scores linked to lung disease in China

Over an average 7.6 years, chronic lung disease occurred in 25.24% of those scoring three or more, compared with 8.55% scoring zero.Over an average 7.6 years, chronic lung disease occurred in 25.24% of those scoring three or more, compared with 8.55% scoring zero.
