Estimating effects of aging and disease progression in current and former smokers using longitudinal models
Effects of disease progression separate from aging can be estimated in observational studies, although care should be taken in order to make sure assumptions involving this separation are reasonable for a given study. This article demonstrates methods to estimate such effects using temporal changes in lung function for subjects in the COPDGene study.
