Description

Rong Feng and co-authors measure lung strength in rural homemakers of the Fenwei Plain in China. Homemakers face smoke and stale indoor air at close range, day after day. Their 2025 study tested 72 women in one county near Xi'an, in both winter and summer.

Age wore lung strength down most, with clear steps down across age groups. Second-hand smoke and poor room airflow also dragged scores down. Women with aired rooms and no smoke near them scored best. No clear season pattern showed up. The authors urge smoke warnings and better home airflow for local women. Such steps are cheap and sit in the hands of each home.
