These types of infections were linked to one-fifth of the deaths.

Researchers identified the individuals who developed LRTI before their second birthday — based on reports from parents or guardians — then looked at public health records to determine which ones died from respiratory disease between the ages of 26 to 73. Children who contract lower respiratory tract infection at two years of age or younger could be more likely to die prematurely from that same condition as adults.

“Damage to the lungs and airways during this time frame can have lasting effects on the lung tissue, including scarring and inflammation, and can also impact the immune system,” she said. The study authors admitted that, like all population survival studies, this one had some limitations and built-in bias.

“During their lifetime, average living conditions and health care in high-income countries has markedly improved,” he said. “Therefore, children born today in these countries may be on course to develop better adult health.” “To prevent the perpetuation of existing adult health inequalities, we need to optimize childhood health,” the doctor went on. “Showing the early life origins of adult chronic diseases also helps challenge the smoking-related stigma attached to death from diseases such as COPD.”
