  1. The OLIN Story by Bo Lundbäck

  2. far away in the periphery of Europe

  3. R U S S I A U S A A C I R F A Norrbotten Stockholm Göteborg • The OLIN Studies • mainly epidemiologic studies of • asthma, COPD, OSAS and allergy • - in progress since 1985 • 50 000 subjects from children to • elderly are or have been participating

  4. R U S S I A U S A A C I R F A Norrbotten Stockholm Göteborg • The OLIN Studies • mainly epidemiologic studies of • asthma, COPD, OSAS and allergy • - in progress since 1985 • 50 000 subjects from children to • elderly are or have been participating The methods include cross-sectional, longitudinal och case-referent studies but also clinical studies and studies of heath economics

  6. A Quarter of a Century

  7. A Quarter of a Century Howdid it start?

  8. In schoolbooks in early 1980:s

  9. In schoolbooks in early 1980:s Asthmaprevalence 2%

  10. In schoolbooks in early 1980:s Asthmaprevalence 2% and so waschronicbronchitis

  11. Aims at start in 1985: Howcommon are OADs? - asthma? - chronicbronchitis? and itsobstructive form? - airwayallergies? And what are theirmain determinants? -

  12. Aims at start in 1985: Howcommon are OADs? - asthma? - chronicbronchitis? and itsobstructive form? - airwayallergies? And what are theirmain determinants? A prevalencestudy in threestages - A cross-sectional postal questionnairesurvey - Structuredinterviews and lungfunction tests - Validation studies includingmethacholine tests

  13. Aims at start in 1985: Howcommon are OADs? - asthma? - chronicbronchitis? and itsobstructive form? - airwayallergies? And what are theirmain determinants? A prevalencestudy in threestages - A cross-sectional postal questionnairesurvey - Structuredinterviews and lungfunction tests - Validation studies includingmethacholine tests Asthmaprevalence not 2 but 6%

  41. Norrbotten, Sweden • Half of smokers develop COPD sooner or later.1 • 1-2 smokers of 100 develop COPD every year; the corresponding proportion among never smokers is 1-2 of 1000.2 • One fourth of incident cases of COPD has a rapid decline in lung function.3 • Different phenotypes of COPD have different prognosis. 4 • The annual societal costs in Sweden of COPD amounts to about 10 billion SEK. 5 1 Lundbäck B, Respir Med 2003 2 Lindberg A, Chest 2007. 3 Lindberg A, Chest 2005 4 Lundbäck B, COPD 2009. 5 Jansson S-A, Chest 2002
