Zusammenfassung:Abstract Objectives To compare domains of cognitive functioning between persons with and without obstructive lung disease (OLD) and to analyze the relationship between cognitive functioning and the degree of airflow limitation. Design An observational population-based study. Setting This research was conducted using the United Kingdom Biobank Resource. Participants The study population consisted of 43,039 persons with complete data on cognitive functioning and spirometry. Measurements Cognitive functioning was compared between persons with and without OLD using linear regression analysis. The relationship between impairment in lung function and cognitive impairment was assessed among persons with OLD. Results Persons with OLD had significantly worse scores than persons without OLD on prospective memory [β = –0.15 (–0.22 to –0.09)], visuospatial memory [β round 1 = 0.06 (0.03‒0.10)]; β round 2 = 0.09 (
