Lung Function Impairment, Associating Hyperinflation with Impaired Diffusion Capacity and Transfer Coefficient, Is a Risk Factor for Hip Osteoporosis in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Our objective is to determine if functional indices associated with emphysema on pulmonary function tests (DLCO—diffusion capacity of the lung for CO-; DLCO/AV—DLCO corrected for alveolar volume- and TLC—total lung capac...
