Higher BMI is associated with higher expiratory airflow normalised for lung volume (FEF25–75/FVC) in COPD

INTRODUCTION: The obesity paradox in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), whereby patients with higher body mass index (BMI) fare better, is poorly understood. Higher BMIs are associated with lower lung volumes and greater lung elastic recoil, a key determinant of expiratory airflow. The fo...
