Therefore, identifying clear metrics for lung health are needed as a cornerstone to define optimal lung development, prevention strategies, and treatment goals. The objective of this NHLBI workshop is to bring together experts in basic and clinical research to understand and begin to define lung health through the lifespan, and to identify gap areas where research and evidence are still needed to support, develop, or refine that definition.
