The host factors affecting the longitudinal decline in lung function among 267 white male grain elevator workers who were still working in the industry and did not change their smoking habits over a period of six years were studied. Spirometric measures declined more rapidly in older grain handlers as compared with younger workers. Smokers had slightly greater decline in spirometry compared to nonsmokers, but the differences failed to reach the level of statistical significance. Acute changes in lung function over the course of one work week during the initial study were also positively correlated with subsequent decline in lung function, as was bronchial hyperreactivity determined during the follow-up study. Positive immediate skin reactivity to common allergens, presence and absence of respiratory symptoms, and initial lung function did not appear to influence the subsequent decline in lung function in this group.
