Lifelines participants were asked whether they had and/or were treated for various respiratory diseases (section: Diseases & symptoms). Lifelines also assessed general (undiagnosed) respiratory symptoms and implemented the Dutch ELON questionnaire and the Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHQ) to assess respiratory problems.
