Child Physical Activity, Health and Development

Our Child Physical Activity, Health and Development team focuses on improving children’s physical activity levels, health and development. We work to uncover the best environments, policies and programs to facilitate physically active lifestyles for lifelong health and wellbeing.

Lung function in African infants in the Drakenstein child health study impact of lower respiratory tract illness

Early life lower respiratory tract illness impairs lung function at 1 year, independent of baseline lung function

Science at Home: Build a lung model!

Have you ever wondered how your lungs work? Researchers from our Children’s Lung Health Team show you how to make a simple lung model by using common household items.

Respiratory Environmental Health

The Respiratory Environmental Health team conducts research in early life determinants of lung growth and development, respiratory environmental health, and mechanisms of airway dysfunction in asthma and other respiratory disease.

Vitamin D deficiency causes deficits in lung function and alters lung structure

The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is increasing and has been linked to obstructive lung diseases including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Lung Clearance Index and Structural Lung Disease on Computed Tomography in Early Cystic Fibrosis

Lung Clearance Index and Structural Lung Disease on Computed Tomography in Early Cystic Fibrosis Abstract Rationale: The lung clearance index is a

New risk factor identified to help predict the long-term lung health of young adults born very preterm

A study which set out to determine ways to predict the long-term lung health of young adults born very preterm has shown that a childhood history of respiratory hospital admission should be a key consideration in the management of preterm children and adults.

Minimal structural lung disease in early life represents significant pathology

In this cohort, as compared with the AREST CF cohort, the authors highlight the limited correlation between infection and inflammation with lung function and structural impairment, and that this was mainly explained by the mild changes identified in lung function and on chest CT scan.

Genomic testing for children with interstitial and diffuse lung disease (chILD): parent satisfaction, understanding and health-related quality of life

Research is needed to determine best practice for genomic testing in the context of child interstitial or diffuse lung disease. We explored parent's and child's health-related quality of life, parents' perceived understanding of a genomic testing study, satisfaction with information and the study and decisional regret to undertake genomic testing.
