Effect of obesity on airway mechanics
Background: Obesity is known to induce lung function impairment. Previous studies of decline in lung function associated with obesity are well established. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, to evaluate the effects of different obesity indices on lung mechanics, healthy subjects (...
